Now a writer can make himself a nice career while he is alive by espousing a political cause, working for it, making a profession of believing in it, and if it wins he will be very well placed. All politics is a matter of working hard without reward, or with a living wage for a time, in the hope of booty later. A man can be a Fascist or a Communist and if his outfit gets in he can get to be an ambassador or have a million copies of his books printed by the Government or any of the other rewards the boys dream about.

Paties?ba ir darbs, meli ir slinkums. Paties?ba ir mekl?šana, ir c?n?šan?s, sevis izt?r?šana, non?kšana konfliktos un to risin?šana ar sav?m sirds asin?m. Meli ir gr?t?bu aizsegšana, izlikšan?s, zin?šanas izt?lošana tur, kur neko nezina, lai tikai nevajadz?tu mekl?t. Meli ir par k?triem mesties konfliktos un tos atrisin?t; tie izliekas, it k? konfliktu neb?tu bijis.

I'm not a body with a soul, I'm a soul that has a visible part called the body

Paulo Coelho

After he was assassinated, his family and the men who had served him continued the lying and began the destruction, censoring and hiding of JFK's medical records.

Richard Reeves

The soul that is attached to anything however much good there may be in it, will not arrive at the liberty of divine union. For whether it be a strong wire rope or a slender and delicate thread that holds the bird, it matters not, if it really holds it fast; for, until the cord be broken the bird cannot fly.

Saint John of the Cross

A woman is the only thing I am afraid of that I know will not hurt me.

Abraham Lincoln

I love the pride whose measure is its own eminence and not the insignificance of someone else.
