“ I am unaware of anyone ... seriously suggesting ... biological features of the region's peoples that might have contributed. ”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)““When our mind melts, do we feel it melt?””
My Sweet Orange Tree • José Mauro de Vasconcelos“Give a man health and a course to steer; and he’ll never stop to trouble about whether he’s happy or not.”
Captain Brassbound's Conversion • George Bernard Shaw“When a child first catches adults out -- when it first walks into his grave little head that adults do not always have divine intelligence, that their judgments are not always wise, their thinking true, their sentences just -- his world falls into panic desolation. The gods are fallen and all safety gone. And there is one sure thing about the fall of gods: they do not fall a little; they crash and shatter or sink deeply into green muck. It is a tedious job to build them up again; they never quite shine. And the child's world is never quite whole again. It is an aching kind of growing.”
East Of Eden • John Steinbeck““Crying is not a prescription. It’s not a feat. It’s just a simple act. No one should be forced to shed tears. The only thing that matters is not to belittle the misfortune of others.””
Samarkand • Amin Maalouf
