Quote of the moment
By many a legendary tale of violence and wrong, as well as by events which have passed before their eyes, these people have been taught to look upon white men with abhorrence.... I can sympathize with the spirit which prompts the Typee warrior to guard all the passes to his valley with the point of his levelled spear, and, standing upon the beach, with his back turned upon his green home, to hold at bay the intruding European.
~ Herman Melville (1819–1891), U.S. author. Typee (1846), ch. 27, The Writings of Herman Melville, vol. 1, eds. Harrison Hayford, Hershel Parker, and G. Thomas Tanselle (1968). ~

Quote of the moment
It is the general consensus of opinion that "near beer" is utterly useless as a beverage, that it affords no pleasure whatsoever and that it is a waste of time to bother with it. The consumption of six or eight bottles gives them a sense of nauseated fullness with none of the stimulated sense of well-being that the old-time beer gave after only two or three bottles.
~Department of Welfare, City of New York, Kings County Hospital, August 24, 1920 ~

Quote of the moment
Yet, Freedom! yet thy banner, torn, but flying, Streams like the thunder-storm against the wind.

Quote of the moment
Tranquil or calm abiding is a heightened state of awareness possessing a very single-pointed nature, accompanied by faculties of mental and physical suppleness. Your body and mind become especially flexible, receptive, and serviceable.

Special insight is a heightened state of awareness, also accompanied by mental and physical suppleness, in which your faculty of analysis is immensely advanced. Thus, calm abiding is absorptive in nature, whereas special insight is analytic in nature.

~ The Path to Tranquility, June 30, 14th Dalai Lama ~
