“There are four great events in history, the siege of Troy, the life and crucifixion of Christ, the exile of Krishna in Brindaban and the colloquy on the field of Kurukshetra. The siege of Troy created Hellas, the exile in Brindaban created devotional religion, (for before there was only meditation and worship), Christ from his cross humanized Europe, the colloquy at Kurukshetra will yet liberate humanity.” HumanityChristFourMeditationEventsFieldsWorshipEuropeCrossesExileKrishnaCrucifixionDevotionalSiegeGreat EventsCrucifixion Of ChristEvents In History Author:Sri Aurobindo
“The Orient that appears in Orientalism, then, is a system of representations framed by a whole set of forces that brought the Orient into Western learning, Western consciousness, and later, Western empire.... The Orient is the stage on which the whole East is confined. On this stage will appear the figures whose role it is to represent the larger whole from which they emenate. The Orient then seems to be, not an unlimited extension beyond the familiar European world, but rather a closed field, a theatrical stage affixed to Europe.” WorldWholeSeemsForceConsciousnessRolesStageFiguresFieldsEuropeWesternEastFamiliarEmpiresRepresentationExtensionsUnlimitedConfinedTheatricalFramedOrientalism Author:Edward Said

“I work in lockstep, hand in glove, with the prime minister on these issues, and as we are supportive to the Eurozone so they can sort their problems out, in return they introduce safeguards to ensure precisely what I said: that the single market is not fragmented and that important industries like the financial services industry are treated fairly.

“Early on in life I knew that I was a writer, that I just wanted to write, I love books, I love literature and after graduating college, I kind of wandered around in Europe learning languages and writing novels and never led anywhere.

“In looking at these pots at the Field Museum, Alix [MacKenzie] and I both came to a conclusion individually but also collectively that the pots that really interested us were the pots that people had used in their everyday life, and we began to think - I mean, whether it was ancient Greece or Africa or Europe or wherever, the pots that people had used in their homes were the ones that excited us.” PeopleThinkingMeanHomeUsedFieldsEuropeEverydayAncientExcitedConclusionMuseumsPotEveryday LifeGreeceAncient Greece Author:Warren MacKenzie

“After the birth of printing books became widespread. Hence everyone throughout Europe devoted himself to the study of literature... Every year, especially since 1563, the number of writings published in every field is greater than all those produced in the past thousand years. Through them there has today been created a new theology and a new jurisprudence; the Paracelsians have created medicine anew and the Copernicans have created astronomy anew.

“The division of the United States into federations of equal force was decided long before the Civil War by the high financial powers of Europe. These bankers were afraid that the United States, if they remained in one block and as one nation, would attain economic and financial independence, which would upset their financial domination over the world. The voice of the Rothschilds prevailed... Therefore they sent their emissaries into the field to exploit the question of slavery and to open an abyss between the two sections of the Union.” IfsWorldLongTwoWarStatesForceNationsVoiceUnitedUnited StatesEconomicFieldsEqualEuropeDecidedIndependenceSlaveryUnionsFinancialBlockUpsetCivil WarDivisionSectionsAbyssDominationExploitsBankersNew World OrderFederationFinancial Independence Author:Otto von Bismarck
