The bad is called good

We live now in an era where normal values have been displaced.
The good is called bad, the bad - good.

Anna Politkovskaya (30 August 1958 – 6 October 2006)

Dark suspicion

I've got a deep dark suspicion
that pretty soon we should start
looking around for another planet
for ourselves. 

Wolfgang Borchert (20 May 1921 – 20 November 1947)

A process of discovery

As a writer, I write to see.
If I knew how it would end, I wouldn't write.
It's a process of discovery.

John McGahern  (12 November 1934 – 30 March 2006)

Peaceful morning.
Elsewhere, people are killed, murdered and oppressed.
How can I be happy in the face of this?
Really happy?

Old problem

A man and a donkey know more than a man.

Typo in the title?
Nah.
It's just that I would not let a tiny T spoil an avantgardistic alliteration.

Perverted Minds

How perverted minds those must have
who would call a murderous aggression
Zeytin Dalı Harekâtı / Operation Olive Branch?

Thoughts

If man does not
eliminate war from history
it will be war
that eliminates man
from history.

Gino Strada

Relativity

Intelligence is a constant. 
Mankind's population is growing ... 
and growing.

Tomorrow, tomorrow

Procrastination:
A child of resolutions.
I am their master.

Consequential

There have always innocent children been born
who became evil bastards.
In face of an expanding number of human beings
it should therefore not come as a surprise
that nowadays
there live more evil bastards on this planet.

They would be a minor problem, though.
The problems are caused by those who follow them.

Precious Life

The life where nothing happens
among the dear familiar things
is for me the most precious life.
...
And all we have
is those precious moments
and the hours and the days.

John McGahern (12 November 1934 – 30 March 2006)

Worth some thoughts

If a book was well-written it can be obscene,
but it couldn't be immoral,
because if it was immoral,
it couldn't be true. 

John Mc Gahern (12 November 1934 – 30 March 2006)

Ach, John!

You need to have a good boring life
in which nothing much happens
except what's going on in your head.

Thoughts

Cruelty appalls,
stupidity demoralises.

Albert Camus (7 November 1913 – 4 January 1960)

Thoughts

"Happy" Hundredth

The welfare of the people in particular
has always been the alibi of tyrants,
and it provides the further advantage
of giving the servants of tyranny
a good conscience.

Albert Camus *November 7th, 1913

An Episode

For several days I am cudgeling my brains, but just can't remember whether I read or heard the following somewhere; neither if it it was in English or another language and I just translated the following. 
The person who coined this will forgive me. 
In case s/he is dead, her / his heirs might sue me.

It would be a nice story.

Anyway, here is the thought.

Life is the episode between not existing and not existing

Praise of taciturnity (reload)

Binn béal 'na chomhnuidhe.

The mouth that speaks not is sweet to hear.

The peace of the night.

Just a thought

0,0535446 Euro per keystroke is quite reasonable a fee.

On second thought ...

Why would so many people become sateless?
