“Some newspaper stories can be presented in entertaining ways; they can make you laugh; they can make you weep. But they are not charged with providing exaltation or fantasy. In the most entertained nation in the history of the world, newspapers exist to provide the citizenry with truth. Sometimes the truth can have a moral point. Sometimes the truth is painful. Sometimes the truth is banal. But it has to be true. It must have a granitelike foundation in fact. The mere stacking of facts is not, of course, enough. The facts must be organized into a coherent whole. They must tell a story. And the great story usually tells us something larger than the mere facts, something about what novelists and philosophers have called, perhaps too grandly, the human condition.”
― Pete Hamill, News Is a Verb: Journalism at the End of the Twentieth Century

“I am denied the usual path, usual phrase
Carrying the same eyes in a cursed maze

Sorrows are my whores
Opaque mirror my esoteric words
every silence is forgiven
As long as the wisdom holds”

“I tell ma myself that I'm wasted, yet I know that I'm useful, I do things I despise, I despise everyone that does them, no one ever understands me and that bothers me so much yet I know no one is ever understood, no one ever understands the other, everyone is always mistaken, not even your wife will ever understand you..
Because in a world were everyone understood each other, we wouldn't see families breaking up and to the least of it married couples wouldn't quarrel for even a second...we are only humans after all...
No one knows our purpose on earth and no one will ever..that's the only mystery that we got to live with, the most honest believers in God believe that there is evil, but really if they were to follow their beliefs why would they believe in evil yet they believe that God the father of Jesus is supreme?
Everything in the world is fucked up,
Who knows that a slip on a road is fatal and then you die and everyone calls it a sudden happening, merely because they have been taught to believe so..?
Anyway that's the strange life we in ...
Perhaps I'm wrong but the truth of the matter is that everything is fucked up and we are just like robots just like the wisest man would make a robot , God also manufactured us”
― Derrick Barara

― Kiran Nagarkar, Cuckold

“Ihr wart es?", fragte Fis so ungläubig, als meinte er, sich verhört zu haben. "Ihr habt uns angegriffen?"
"Uns?", fragte Nonda, und für einen kurzen Moment glaubte Anûr Ärger in dem Gesicht des Nori zu entdecken. "Ich kann mich nicht erinnern, dich damals dort gesehen zu haben", sagte Nonda und klang mit einem Mal müde. "Auch wenn du ein Kind der Wüste bist, so waren es damals andere Menschen, die angegriffen wurden. Verwechsle dein Schicksal nicht mit ihrem. Wut und Hass sollten nicht vererbt werden."
