“Many individuals spend a considerable portion of their lifetimes in terror of one imagined catastrophe or another. The classic is that your immortal soul will be consigned to eternal torment in the never-ending subterranean barbecue if you fail to follow the whacky edicts of one particular set of puckered dogwhistles or another. You may recall from the great movie Strange Days that a "dogwhistle" is a guy whose asshole is so tight that when he farts, only dogs can hear him.” IfsMaySoulGuyIndividualFailingDogParticularStrangeEternalLifetimeTerrorClassicImmortalPortionsRecallsCatastropheTormentNever EndingFartBarbecueImmortal SoulStrange Days Author:L.

“I did not share the enthusiasm of certain politicians for the National Front leader, it was because I had noticed, in the past, some strange contradictions between Mossadeq's declared ends and his actions. Officially he defended nationalist anti-colonialism and was the most intransigent patriot who declared that no concessions or advantages should be granted to foreign powers. He described his doctrine as a "negative balance" and in fact his greatest failing was that he was negative.” ShouldEndsFactsActionPastCertainLeaderFailingShareFrontsStrangeBalancePoliticianAdvantageNegativeDoctrineEnthusiasmGrantedContradictionColonialismPatriotConcessions Author:Mohammed Reza Pahlavi
“Love flies, runs, leaps for joy; it is free and unrestrained. Love gives all for all, resting in One who is highest above all things, from whom every good flows and proceeds. Love does not regard the gifts, but turns to the Giver of all good gifts. Love knows no limits, but ardently transcends all bounds. Love feels no burden, takes no account of toil, attempts things beyond its strength; love sees nothing as impossible, for it feels able to achieve all things. Love therefore does great things; it is strange and effective; while he who lacks love faints and fails.” KnowsGivingFeelsDoeRunningAbleJoyTurnsImpossibleFailingAchieveStrangeLimitsHighestFlowAll ThingsAccountsRegardBoundsVery GoodBurdenGreat ThingsLeapToilGiverLove Strength Author:Thomas a Kempis
