I've just been around long enough to see many sides of what our lovely evil boy-god Eros can be like.

Was it really worth it? I wondered again. I wanted to believe it had been but could not help feeling cynical about how history repeats itself. There still were the same political intrigues, the hate groups that thrive on terror and human misery and I knew that there were enough egos and self-indulging crusaders to fuel another war, and another...

I will admit that we as young rebels always wanted fundamentalists to understand our take on their religion, but rarely, if ever, the other way around. The fundamentalists are the real artists.

Letti: :( What do you want me to do? You want me to tell everyone online that I’m with you? You want everyone to know how much I love you? Mika: I don't care about what people know, I just care about you. I want you in my life now and in the future, but how can I continue if you don't even "belong" to me...

Modernist manuals of writing often conflate story with conflict. This reductionism reflects a culture that inflates aggression and competition while cultivating ignorance of other behavioral options. No narrative of any complexity can be built on or reduced to a single element. Conflict is one kind of behavior. There are others, equally important in any human life, such as relating, finding, losing, bearing, discovering, parting, changing. Change is the universal aspect of all these sources of story. Story is something moving, something happening, something or somebody changing.

Mungu alilibariki taifa la Israeli katika misingi ya kidini na si katika misingi ya kisiasa au misingi ya kihistoria; na asili ya dini ya Kikristo ni kutoka katika taifa hilo ambalo Biblia imelitaja kama taifa teule la Mwenyezi Mungu. Mgogoro wa Israeli na Palestina ulianzishwa na Israeli mwenyewe. Yakobo alipokea baraka iliyokuwa si ya kwake kwa kutumia hila ya Rebeka. Baraka ya Yakobo ilikuwa ya Esau.

... mother seemed happy because the school yard where Rafik would spend his recesses was surrounded by a high stone wall.

SHE WANTED TO LIVE IN AN UNLOCKED WORLD

Most of life is a matter of nonessential differences.

Most things that are true are simple. To lose weight, eat less than you burn. To reduce stress, find a job you love. To resolve conflict, be patient and peaceful. These are very, very simple in that they are complete concepts that take no more than a sentence to say. They are not, however, easy, because they must be applied consistently.

Motivation overcomes self-limitations.

Much of what we consider valuable in our world arises out of (these) one-sided conflicts. Because the act of facing overwhelming odds, produces greatness and beauty.

My refusal to ever have conflict with others meant I was in conflict with myself.

...my goal has always been to muster the courage to think critically for myself, even if that means going against the grain. For me, arguing with a racist and exposing the flaws in their argument is about gaining a better understanding of views that offend you; it’s about improving your ability to argue and defend your opinion.

My life has a mysterious purpose that I don't understand, and day by day, conflict by conflict, I learn by going where I have to go.

Nadya Zelenin and her mother had returned from a performance of Eugene Onegin at the theatre. Going into her room, the girl swiftly threw off her dress and let her hair down. Then she quickly sat at the table in her petticoat and white bodice to write a letter like Tatyana's. 'I love you,' she wrote, 'but you don't love me, you don't love me!' Having written this, she laughed. She was only sixteen and had never loved anyone yet. She knew that Gorny (an army officer) and Gruzdyov (a student) were both in love with her, but now, after the opera, she wanted to doubt their love. To be unloved and miserable: what an attractive idea! There was something beautiful, touching and romantic about A loving B when B wasn't interested in A. Onegin was attractive in not loving at all, while Tatyana was enchanting because she loved greatly. Had they loved equally and been happy they might have seemed boring. ("After The Theatre")

Ndege ya Kolonia Santita, Grumman Gulfstream III, tofauti na ndege alizokuwa akitumia Panthera Tigrisi na makompade wake wa karibu, ilifanya kazi kubwa katika mgogoro wa Kolonia Santita na Tume ya Dunia. Dar es Salaam Grumman ilipomchukua kachero Giovanna Garcia wa Kolonia Santita, baada ya ndege hiyo kutumwa na makamanda wa Kolonia Santita wa Copenhagen, ilimpeleka Paris nchini Ufaransa kuhudhuria kikao cha siri cha CS-Paris. Katika kikao hicho yeye na wenzake wakapanga mauaji ya Kamanda John Murphy Ambilikile, kwa kusuka mbinu kamambe za kumteketeza, kabla ndege yake haijafika Copenhagen.
