Lord Beaverbrook was fundamentally a lonely man, with a low sense of his own self-worth, who was incapable of forming a stable, loving relationship with anyone. He could charm or he could bully; he could give or he could take; he was glad to see his guests arrive and pleased to see them go. Although many people genuinely loved him, he was incapable of believing that this was either possible or true. No wonder he was so restless, so impatient, so vindictive, so quick to lose his temper, so eager to stir things up. — David Cannadine

Atheism rises above creeds and puts Humanity upon one plane.
There can be no 'chosen people' in the Atheist philosophy.
There are no bended knees in Atheism;
No supplications, no prayers;
No sacrificial redemptions;
No 'divine' revelations;
No washing in the blood of the lamb;
No crusades, no massacres, no holy wars;
No heaven, no hell, no purgatory;
No silly rewards and no vindictive punishments;
No christs, and no saviors;
No devils, no ghosts and no gods. — Joseph Lewis

There is no outlet for demonstrating your feelings towards people whom you simply loathe. That is really the crying need of our modern civilisation.

Obsolescence never meant the end of anything, it's just the beginning. — Marshall McLuhan

firewood stacked behind him. His whip, a live serpent. Every sheikh rides a fierce lion,
whether you see it or not.

with your other eyes: There are thousands of lions
under your teacher's thighs and all of them
stacked with wood! — Rumi
