Hadrian Veska May 2016
They say a picture is worth
A thousand words
But without the words
And stories behind it

A picture is meaningless


-Hadrian Veska
Hadrian Veska May 2016
Don't seek knowledge, seek truth.
For only in truth can wisdom be obtained.

-Hadrian Veska
Hadrian Veska Dec 2016
An artist should never
confuse themselves with art.
They are merely a vessel,
From which art pours.
Sometimes they are empty
And other times full.

If you walk with a purpose
Your feet will never tire

Never trust someone
Who doesn't like music

I chased love for so long
Only to realize,
It isn't something you catch
But rather,
Something you get caught by.

Hadrian Veska Nov 2016
A man without internal conflict
Is either a simpleton,
Or heavily indoctrinated


-Hadrian Veska
Hadrian Veska Jul 2016
People look for hidden meanings in writings and art, asking why at every turn.

They forget however, that art does not need to have its own meaning.

What something means is an opinion
In the eyes of the beholder.

The true purpose of art is to make the viewer feel something, to inspire them.

And sometimes the things that seemingly have no meaning inspire us the most.

Hadrian Veska Dec 2016
The moment we conquer our mortality,
Is the moment we stop being human,
And become the very things,
That we taught ourselves to hate.

Hadrian Veska Dec 2016
You can say or you can do, but not both.
That is why wise men speak so little.

Be proud of your humility
But humble of your pride

Hadrian Veska May 2016
Anger is not an emotion
It comes from the inability
To handle other emotions

-Hadrian Veska
Hadrian Veska May 2016
What is man
But the culmination
Of sin and circumstance


-Hadrian Veska
Hadrian Veska May 2016
Nothing is born
Of its own fruition
No intelligence simply
Springs into existence

Everything is created

We search for our maker
Just as our creations
Will search for us
Long after we're gone


-Hadrian Veska
Hadrian Veska May 2016
Disease is contagious
If you aren't careful

Laughter is contagious
If you're in the mood

But hope,

Hope is contagious
No matter the circumstances

Those that strive their whole life to be remembered, forget themselves in the process.

-Hadrian Veska
Hadrian Veska May 2016
We are all wanderers,
growing restless if we stay too long in one place. The only weight that can hold us down is another person. Whether for good or ill.

-Hadrian Veska
Hadrian Veska Dec 2016
Man is alone in the universe
Because he is the first in the universe.
The great pioneer of mortality.

Sometimes you need to be torn down
To realize you had no foundation


-Hadrian Veska
Hadrian Veska Jul 2016
Don't set out to prove others wrong,
Set out to prove yourself right.

-Hadrian Veska
Hadrian Veska Oct 2016
There is no "balance"
Between good and evil

To be good
Is to be in harmony,
To be in harmony,
Is to be balanced

Evil has no place
In the universe

Hadrian Veska Dec 2016
Mankind's greatest strength, is mortality.
If you don't believe me, ask the gods.

That is,
if any yet remain.

Fate is never heavy handed
Only upon looking back
Can its gentle nudges be seen

- Hadrian Veska
Hadrian Veska Dec 2016
To love, one must first learn
To know and love themselves.
Without this understanding,
There can be no such thing as love.
Only simple infatuation.

A desire to fill the empty space,
Where self should reside.

"Don't strive to know everything,
because everything has a habit of changing more often than you would think."

-Hadrian Veska
Hadrian Veska Dec 2016
There is such a thing as morality.
Its proof is evident in guilt.


-  Hadrian Veska
Hadrian Veska Mar 2017
In passing,
Someone said they knew me.
I was astonished,
For they knew what I did not.

Personality is the canvas of the will

Hadrian Veska Jan 2017
It matters not
what one thinks of a wise man,
For he knows himself,
And can differentiate
Interpretation from reality.

The fool however,
Changes constantly.
Influenced by what others think of him,
He is not sure what he wants to be

Or who he truely is .


- Hadrian Veska

It's beautiful,
To run into someone that knows you,
Who you can't remember.

It reminds you that you exist,
Outside of your own mind.


-Hadrian Veska
Hadrian Veska Feb 2017
An excellent plan
Will never be realized as such
If it is executed poorly

Hadrian Veska Sep 2017
A man who withdraws into his own mind
Never comes out as sane as he entered

Do not fight your enemy
If you can simply move around them
