“Monks congregate like dogs in a kennel, From contact with their superiors they acquire knowledge, Is one the course of the wind, is one the water of the sea? Is one the spark of the fire, of unrestrainable tumult? Monks congregate like wolves, From contact with their superiors they acquire knowledge. They know not when the deep night and dawn divide. Nor what is the course of the wind, or who agitates it, In what place it dies away, on what land it roars.” KnowsNightDiesCoursesWaterFireSeaLandDogWindSuperiorsContactDawnAcquireDividesSparksMonkTumultAgitate Author:Taliesin

Technology forges connections and disconnections here.” SpaceCitiesHalfTechnologyFiveLandConnectionsTownsEdgesEnormousContactZoneWildernessSettlementSatellitesDisconnectionTime ZonesHalf Time Author:B.

“The Jews caused us a great injustice, the greatest injustice. They have expelled our people, stolen our land, shed our brothers' blood, and are still shedding blood, and there should be no contact between them and us. We will not agree to meet with them until our problem with the Zionist entity and those Westerners and Christians who support them, is solved.” PeopleShouldStillsProblemChristianSupportBloodLandBrotherAgreeInjusticeJewContactShedEntityStolenZionistWesternersShedding Blood Author:Yusuf al-Qaradawi
“The labours I devoted between 1888 to 1900 to the critical edition, translation and commentary of Kalhana's Rajatarangini, the only true historical text of Sanskrit literature, afforded me ample opportunities of gaining close contact with Sanskrit savants of Kashmir, the land where traditional learning of Hindu India had flourished in old times greatly and survived until recent years.” YearsLiteratureOpportunityLandIndiaHistoricalCriticalTraditionalContactLabourDevotedSurvivedTranslationsCommentaryOld TimeKashmirSanskritSavants Author:Aurel Stein
