On July 3, 1968, Chairman Mao issued an order calling for the ruthless suppression of class enemies. He wanted all members of the Five Black Categories to be eliminated, together with TWENTY THREE NEW TYPES of enemy , which included anyone who had ever served as a policeman before the Liberation, or who had been sent to prison or labor camp. And not only them but their family and distant relatives as well. That’s a lot of people. Yes. Just think, the literal meaning of the Chinese characters for “revolution” is “elimination of life

Quando una donna ti dà del cretino, generalmente si sta innamorando. E io mi sento così cretino, adesso, che mi metto a camminare in mezzo alla strada senza curarmi delle macchine che mi evitano e nemmeno mi strombazzano, tanto devo sembrare cretino, evidentemente.

In altre parole, io non ci riesco a prendermi le cose che voglio. Mi sembra ridicolo pensare che le cose siano semplicemente lì, e che è colpa tua se non te le prendi. Non ci ho mai creduto alla storia che bastasse allungare la mano. E il fatto che un altro ci riesca non mi convince nemmeno per un attimo che sia vera, e questo è tutto.

Perché la vita è fatta soprattutto di patteggiamenti. Di situazioni in cui – questa è la rivelazione che spiazza – ti scopri capace di una comprensione al ribasso che normalmente non ti spieghi, quando la riconosci negli altri. E capisci alcune cose.

Your poor heart, in which God put appreciation for everlastingness, will not take electronic gadgets in lieu of eternal life. Something inside of you is too big for that, too terrible, too wonderful. God has set everlastingness in your heart. All the things of this world are here for but a moment and then are gone. None can satisfy the longing for that eternal ragging in the soul of every man.


A.W. Tozer

And he saw a youth approaching, Dressed in garments green and yellow, Coming through the purple twilight, Through the splendor of the sunset; Plumes of green bent o'er his forehead, And his hair was soft and golden. Standing at the open doorway, Long he looked at Hiawatha, Looked with pity and compassion On his wasted form and features, And, in accents like the sighing Of the South-Wind in the tree-tops, Said he, "O my Hiawatha! All your prayers are heard in heaven, For you pray not like the others, Not for greater skill in hunting, Not for greater craft in fishing, Not for triumph in the battle, Nor renown among the warriors, But for profit of the people, For advantage of the nations. "From the Master of Life descending, I, the friend of man, Mondamin, Come to warn you and instruct you, How by struggle and by labor You shall gain what you have prayed for. Rise up from your bed of branches, Rise, O youth, and wrestle with me!


Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

But you cant be alive forever, and you always wear out life long before you have exhausted the possibilities of living. And all that must be somewhere; all that could not have been invented and created just to be thrown away. And the earth is shallow; there is not a great deal of it before you come to the rock. And the earth dont want to just keep things, hoard them; it wants to use them again.


William Faulkner

She doesn't follow me. She doesn't call out my name and chase after me in the rain. It isn't even raining. The sky doesn't even have the decency to provide me with a good movie cliché.

Nobody sees Death, Nobody sees the face of Death, Nobody hears the voice of Death. Savage Death just cuts mankind down... The sleeping and the dead are just like each other, Death's picture cannot be drawn... The Anunnaki, the great gods, assembled; Mammitum who creates fate decreed destines with them. They appointed death and life. They did not mark out days for death, But they did so for life.

To seek Truth is automatically a calling for the innate dissident and the subversive; how many are willing to give up safety and security for the perilous life of the spiritual revolutionary? How many are willing to truly learn that their own cherished concepts are wrong? Striking provocative or mysterious poses in the safety of Internet [social media] is far easier than taking the risks involved in the hard work of genuine initiation.
