"There haven't really been riots, there have been, in actuality, since I, since I was there, there have been demonstrations and, eh, but I guess a lot of people and journalists don't know how to spell 'demonstrations' and use the word 'riot' 'cause it only has four letters".

Dear media, I can’t stand the headline "No agreement between the US and Denmark” any longer. If an armed man storms a bank, you don't run the headline: "Robber and cashier can't reach an agreement on money transfer." Stop framing imperial aggression as normal diplomacy.

When we offer care and support to people facing any of life’s myriad challenges, we lift ourselves up at the same time.

A quotation by Harris, Sydney J.Men may be divided almost any way we please, but I have found the most useful distinction to be made between those who devote their lives to conjugating the verb “to be” and those who spend their lives conjugating the verb “to have.”Sydney J. Harris (1917-1986) Anglo-American columnist, journalist, author
For the Time Being, ch. 6, epigram (1972)

Quote of the day:SOMETIMES THE FIRST STEP TO FORGIVENESS IS UNDERSTANDING THAT THE OTHER PERSON IS A COMPLETE IDIOT.
#quote #forgiveness by #smileandshine
“What an astonishing thing a book is. It’s a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you’re inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic.”
