"If you don't like it then leave" people, who hurt you? Do you really think that all countries should just be getting worse all the time, and anyone who wants to make things better is somehow being disloyal?
"Poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese." -- G. K. Chesterton
When you go to a friend’s house to stay the night and get stuck with the scratchy blanket
You know the one
It’s made of wool
It has satiny trim that tries to deceive you into thinking this will be a nice blanket experience
But it’s not
Every house has one
It’s buried deep in the bowels of the linen closet, under some Afghans and a comforter with the down coming out of it, but make no mistake
The scratchy blanket is there
And it waits….
There is a perfect distance from the sun where popcorn can be made
Capitalism is the water that drowns us while convincing many that we actually have gills – if only we would work harder to use them.
“Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill. Without books, the development of civilization would have been impossible. They are engines of change (as the poet said), windows on the world and lighthouses erected in the sea of time. They are companions, teachers, magicians, bankers of the treasures of the mind. Books are humanity in print.”
– Barbara Tuchman
