"Those who crusade, not for God in themselves, but against
the devil in others, never succeed in making the world better,
but leave it either as it was, or sometimes perceptibly worse
than what it was, before the crusade began. By thinking
primarily of evil we tend, however excellent our intentions,
to create occasions for evil to manifest itself."
-- Aldous Huxley
"The only war that matters is the war against the imagination.
All others are subsumed by it."
-- Diane DiPrima, "Rant", from Pieces of a Song.
"It is difficult
to get the news from poems
yet men die miserably every day
for lack
of what is found there"
-- William Carlos Williams, "Asphodel, That Greeny Flower"
Enjoy your break! I’ve been out a few days myself.
Although, it may be hard for you to rest peacefully knowing that you’ve been tagged.
:-) Cheers, and looking forward to catching up with what you’ve been up to on here.
Oh oh – looks like Curt got you too ;)
Along the lines of item #5 at the Bushism site, also during the 2004 debates Bush said about John Kerry:
“If he were president Sadam would still be in power and the world would be better off for it.”
LOL Thanks Bluebear, that’s a classic. Quite a challenge to nominate our behavioral eccentricities, isn’t it? Like you, I’m mulling it over … They’re coming, nocturnal-frisbee-loving Curt-meister! ;)
Scooped ya! Posted Mohammed Omer’s YouTube Vid before you! Neener Neener!
Okay that’s completely childish of me. So Nanny Nanny Boo Boo too!
:D
Part of your “girlish charm”? ;)
Of course, I let you. ;) Seriously, it’s why I sent it to you.
Good luck tomorrow!
