You are not taking it easy, you are making it difficult.”

It looks very serious, looks gloomy, has something of the church in it, looks as if it is only for people who are dead, or almost dead, who are gloomy, serious, have long faces, who have lost festivity, fun, playfulness, celebration.... A really meditative person is playful: life is fun for him.... He enjoys it tremendously. He is not serious. He is relaxed.”
“Millions of people never analyze themselves. Mentally they are mechanical products of the factory of their environment, preoccupied with breakfast, lunch, and dinner, working and sleeping, and going here and there to be entertained. They don't know what or why they are seeking, nor why they never realize complete happiness and lasting satisfaction. By evading self-analysis, people go on being robots, conditioned by their environment. True self-analysis is the greatest art of progress.”

“Milliyetçilik büyük ve asîl bir inançtır. Bir fedakârlık duygusudur. Hiçbir karşılık beklemeden kendini yok etmek düşüncesidir. Bu bakımdan dinden de üstündür. Dindar, yarınki bir âlemin cennetine ve nimetlerine kavuşmak için kendisini feda eder. Bu fedakârlık, hiçbir şey ummadan kendisini yokluğun karanlıklarına atan bir milliyetçinin fedakârlığı ile asla ölçülmez. Böyle bir ölüm, çirkin bir hayattan daha çok insana yakışır. Hayatı, bu şekilde insanî anlamı ile telkin etmek milliyetçilik felsefesinin baş ilkesidir.”

“Milliyetçilik kendisini reklam ederken daha olgun kafalara hitap etmek mecburiyetindedir. Komünizmi en iptidaî insana anlatmak ve kabul ettirmek kolaydır. Zaten onlar yalan söylemekten de asla çekinmedikleri için her fert veya zümreye göre söyleyecekleri yalanlar hazırdır. Milliyetçilikte ise ne yalana tenezzül, ne dünya cenneti, ne de ahret cenneti vaadi vardır. Milliyetçilikte yalnız tek yasa vardır: Görev yapılacaktır.”

“Milloin olet viimeksi lukenut kokonaisen kirjan? Raijaat nykyään kirjastosta hillittömiä pinoja, luet kymmenen sivua per nide ja unohdat senkin vähän ennen eräpäivämuistutusta. Lainaa ensi kerralla vain yksi kirja. Ja lue se alusta loppuun. Lue mahdollisimman erilaisia kirjoja, sellaisiakin, joita epäilet. Sanot, ettei sinulla ole aikaa. Mutta sitten kuitenkin selaat netin vaihtoautoja tai makaat lattialla ja mietit, että pitäiskö keittää kaffet.”

“Millwall fans are an earthy bunch, and there’s nothing wrong with that, but many of them lack social graces, and the demographics are far removed from architect’s impressions of the New Den, which is a superb ground.
It must be said, however, that their chant of, “Meerrrr!” sounds more like a flock of lambs being led to the slaughter. I don’t wish to disillusion the Millwall faithful, for they may feel that the “Meerrrr!” chant makes them sound tough ….. but it doesn’t.
Trust me, from the East Upper Stand it sounds more like a bleat than a roar.
When we got to London Bridge – still considered to be part of the Millwall Manor – I observed a man in his late thirties (old enough to know better) give the “Meerrrrr!” bleat, and it had a strange effect on him, for he immediately started to swagger. His knees pushed out to the side, he rolled his shoulders and his face lit up with an unpleasant smirk, as if to say, “Did you see me? I said Meerrrr!”

“MILLY O’MALLEY
Milly O’Malley from Kalamazoo
has a collection of horrible shoes.
Shoes that look ugly,
shoes that feel bad.
Shoes guaranteed
to make everyone mad.
Shoes that will trip you,
shoes that will pinch.
Shoes that refuse
to move even one inch.
It won’t surprise you
to hear me say
that Milly O’Malley
goes barefoot all day.”
