“Nearly half of all New Guinea languages have fewer than 500 speakers.”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)“It's so much darker when a light goes out than it would have been if it had never shone.”
The Winter of Our Discontent • John Steinbeck“I was not in full control of myself, and it seemed that I knew her name from before. The evil in her eyes, her color, her scent and her movements were all familiar to me. It was as though my souls, in the life before this, in the world of imagination, had bordered on her soul and that both souls, of the same essence and substance, were destined for union. I must have lived this life very close to her. I had no desire to touch her; the invisible beams that emanated from our bodies and mingled were sufficient for me. Isn't this terrifying experience which seemed so familiar to met quite the same as the feelings of two lovers who feel that they have known each other before and that a mysterious relationship has previously existed between them? Was it possible that someone else could affect me? The dry, repulsive and ominous laughter of the old man, however, tore our bonds asunder.”
The Blind Owl • Sadegh Hedayat““You, Venerable One, may indeed be a seeker, for, striving toward your goal, there is much you do not see which is right before your eyes.””
Siddhartha • Hermann Hesse““Even in him, even in your great teacher, I prefer the thing to the words, his actions and his life are more important than his speech, the gestures of his hand more important than his opinions.””
Siddhartha • Hermann Hesse
