Book bits

"Never underestimate the power of your tears, they can be healing waters or a stream of joy, sometimes they are the best words the heart can speak."


"Some things you must always be unable to bear. Some things you must never stop refusing to bear. Injustice and outrage and dishonour and shame. No matter how young you are or how old you have got. Not for kudos and not for cash, your picture in the paper nor money in the bank, neither. Just refuse to bear them."
William Faulkner

"The most shocking thing about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own. "
Aldous Huxley

"We must act responsibility. To the degree to which we should oppose everything that could give itself to war, to crime, to catastrophe.
Because we who lived through the war know how it begins, where it comes from. We know that it does not begin only with bombs & rockets, but with fanaticism & pride, stupidity & contempt, ignorance & hatred.
It feeds on all that grows on that & from that. That is why, just as some of us fight the pollution of the air, we should fight the polluting of human affairs by ignorance & hatred."

Ryzard Kapuscinski
From Just me, Sheila Hancock
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
