"History is very much tangible. It isn't about who shot who during some Franco-Prussia War . Its what happened two minutes ago. "
Fuck you Jim Rogers for saying India won't last the next 30 or 40 years.


"[My educators] did not pretend to believe that everyone is educable, for they knew, on the contrary, that very few are educable, very few indeed. They saw this as a fact of nature, like the fact that few are six feet tall. [...] They accepted the fact that there are practicable ranges of intellectual and spiritual experience which nature has opened to some and closed to others."
Alfred Nock. (sentiments, which I share- in some slight regard of affinity to)
"If we are to survive, we must have ideas, vision, and courage. These things are rarely produced by committees. Everything that matters in our intellectual and moral life begins with an individual confronting his own mind and conscience in a room by himself." -

Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. ( Historian)

"The brevity of life, the failing of the senses, the numbness of indifference and unprofitable occupations allow us to know very little. And again and again swift oblivion, the thief of knowledge and the enemy of memory, makes a void of the mind, in the course of time, even what we learn we lose."

Before facebook, what did we all do?
- Just wonder about other people. I guess.

What if my dreams are but short of reality? What if the pursuit of peace inside, is wasted by the inertia on the outer. Sinking into the heating one-ness of despair, how dark is that sorrow with which tainted i see the glass.

Do I brush off my time here, as a moth to the cinders flame?

I am calling out, oh Self of my heart,

such kindling loneliness.
