What's New OR: 'Yo, ladies ... What's happenin ? Whatever Next ? [ Downs Lord Triptych / The Two Confessions / Amy-Faith & the Stronghold] | Batch the Ninth ****** A
gallimaufry of wisdom, ranging from Talmudic and Scriptural gems to the last
word on a famous film producer. Enjoy ! ( if you can, if not, endure... ) 'There
are three whose lives are miserable: the kind-hearted, the ill-tempered, and the melancholy.' Kallah 10. 'Give
strong drink to him who is perishing, and
wine to those who have an embittered soul. Let
them drink and forget their poverty and
remember their misery no more.' Proverbs
31. 6-7. ****** 'You
ever notice, Joe', he asked... 'that it always takes a little more trouble to
get something than the thing was really worth?
... There's so much weariness and fatigue in it all.
For every action there is an equal... stupefaction.
No, that might be bearable - it's greater than the action.'
'The
Anubis Gates' by Tim Powers. 1983. [ Highly recommended - JAW ] ****** 'The
emotions are like the genitals: fine and life-giving in their proper context,
but not meant to be on permanent display.' Sonia
Morozov. Soviet commentator.
1958 - ? 'Poor
children!' he thought drowsily. 'They
were fed and clothed and minded enough, but it was their misfortune to be born
in an age which saw no need to clothe them in one single rag of noble
thought...' '...They
saw no stars above their neon streets, dug no soil, sang no hymns...' '...
wrath at the slaughter of the imagination that is taking place in our
classrooms.' 'More
Lives than One' Libby Purves.
1998. 'There
is more to life than increasing its speed.' ****** 'Enjoy
the present, nor with anxious care of
what may spring from blind Misfortune's womb, appal
the latest hour life has given. Serene
and master of yourself prepare for
all events and leave the rest to Heaven.' Verse
( after Euripides? ) from the notebook of Sir William Hamilton (1730 - 1803) 'You
always knew where you were with Sam Goldwyn - nowhere ! F.
Scott Fitzgerald. ( 1896 - 1940 ) ******
