Graz–Feb. 16, 2025

Took a walk around the area while I was waiting for the washer to finish at the laundromat. (The one near where I lived - they finally re-opened!) The pictures you see here are ones I find interesting. The area as a whole is sort of grungy, but it has character.

Painting of Gandhi with text „Der Schwache kann nicht verzeihen. Zerzeihen ist eine Eigenschaft des Starken.“

Weak people can not forgive. Forgiveness is a characteristic of strong people.

Painting of Nikola Tesla: „Mich beunruhigt nicht, dass sie meine Ideen stehlen. Mich beunruhigt dass sie keine eigenen haben.“ Tesla studied in Graz 1875-1877.

It doesn’t worry me that people steal my ideas. It worries me that they don’t have any of their own.
