We have an exchange here talking about [the first sonnet of Dante Alighieri’s La Vita Nuova], which, of course, is reflected in what Hannibal says. He’s actually kind of talking about Clarice, if you listen to this speech. [Allegra]’s more cynical. She expresses this when she asks him that question. I think this is always him talking about Clarice. Most people missed that, but that’s what it is. I felt the underlying emotion of this film is affection. And in some instances you might even wonder, certainly from one direction, is it more than affection? It is dark because the story, of course, is essentially dark, but it’s kind of romantic at the same time. - Ridley Scott

It’s a haunting story and my ambition’s been that the music will be haunting. The great thing about this film is that you can literally read a million different versions of messages, of subtext, of substance into each scene. I can score this movie as an archetype of Freudian beauty-and-the-beast type fairy tale. I can score this as a horror movie. I can score this as a treatise on corruption in the American police force. I can score it as the loneliest woman on Earth. I can score this as the beauty of the Renaissance. I can do all these different things in each scene and I have to make up my mind: where do I want to see the character at which moment in time? I’ve come from this idea that it should really be a love story. But it can be a dark love story. I think using the word “passion” in its truest sense. I mean, [Hannibal and Clarice] are two people that should never be together. This is Romeo and Juliet, and so I’ve done a modern-day Romeo and Juliet. - Hans Zimmer

“Ojos míos por qué están tristes a pesar de que me siento alegre palabras mías por qué son tan ásperas a pesar de que soy tierna actos míos por qué son tan estúpidos a pesar de que soy inteligente amigos míos por qué están agotados a pesar de que soy fuerte”

— Vera Pavlova

Photographer Sarah Schönfeld took liquid versions of drugs, both legal and illegal, and covered exposed negative film. Each drug interacted with the film differently, and the chemical reaction continued for variable amounts of time. She repeated the process for dozens of drugs and enlarged the negatives after the reactions were complete.

Trucos para liberarte de  la mente

1) Si nos observamos pensar veremos que la mente es como un remolino donde giran sin cesar las mismas cosas, angustias, esperanzas, miedos.

2) Para detener estos círculos incesantes, canta las 5 vocales asì: A, E, I, U, O. cada una durante un minuto (o más, si así lo necesitas).

3) Mientras la cantas, con profundas respiraciones, imagina que resuena en todo tu cuerpo, tu país, el planeta, la galaxia, el universo.

4) Cuando llegues a la O, termina agregándole una M. Te dará OM, la sílaba sagrada hindú que dicen es el origen del universo.

5) El sonido A, actúa sobre lo alto de la garganta, de los pulmones y todo tu cráneo.

6) El sonido E, tonifica tus glándulas tiroides.

7) El sonido I te desamarra del ego, y te da alegría si lo emites con una sonrisa en los labios.    8) El sonido U penetra profundamente en el tórax y el vientre, y proporciona fuerza vital.   9) El sonido O va hasta el fondo del abdomen, y te abre a la creatividad.

10) Al terminar la serie, contempla tus pensamientos como si fueran hojas que flotan en la corriente de un río, o nubes que cruzan el cielo.
