To me, history ought to be a source of pleasure. It isn’t just part of our civic responsibility. To me, it’s an enlargement of the experience of being alive, just the way literature or art or music is.”; NEH 2003 Jefferson Lecturer interview profile]

Despair is typical of those who do not understand the causes of evil, see no way out, and are incapable of struggle.
Quote from Vladimir Lenin Read More »
We are not sheep or cows. God didnât create fences for us or boundaries to contain our nationalities. Man did. God didnât draw up religious barriers to separate us from each other. Man did. And on top of that, no father would like to see his children fighting or killing each other. The Creator favors the man who spreads loves over the man who spreads hate. A religious title does not make anyone more superior over another. If a kind man stands by his conscience and exhibits truth in his words and actions, he will stand by God regardless of his faith. If mankind wants to evolve, we must learn from our past mistakes. If not, our technology will evolve without us.

No mi krĆĄÄani upuÄeni smo po srediĆĄtu naĆĄega Creda – ‘muÄen pod Poncijem Pilatom’ – u povijest u kojoj je bilo razapinjanja i muÄenja, u kojoj se plakalo i tako rijetko ljubilo. I nikakav od povijesti udaljeni mit, nikakav Platonovi idejni Bog, nikakva gnostiÄka soteriologija i nikakav apstraktni govor o povijesnosti naĆĄe egzistencije ne mogu nam vratiti onu neduĆŸnost koju smo u toj povijesti izgubili.
I caught his hand. âWhat do you want me to do?âLeaning down, he kissed the pulse beating on my neck just above the damaged skin. âTomorrow, I need you to die.

How would your life be different ifâŠYou didnât allow yourself to be defined by your past? Let today be the dayâŠYou stop letting your history interfere with your destiny and awaken to the opportunity to release your greatest self.

Vaneâs lips tightened to suppress a smile. âWhy so hostile, love?ââYou whacked me on the head with a ball!ââYou deserved it.

What one generation finds ridiculous, the next accepts; and the third shudders when it looks back on what the first did.

So obscure are the greatest events, as some take for granted any hearsay, whatever its source, others turn truth into falsehood, and both errors find encouragement with posterity.

How was life before Pop-Tarts, Prozac and padded playgrounds? They ate strudel, took opium and played on the grass.
