"Staring to enjoy this book. Strongly ideas driven. This book is a puzzle with lots of pieces and details. Hans Castorp has Walt-Whitman idea of loafing down." Oct 02, 2013 05:56AM

“There must be no bloodshed, no violence unless it is defensive, no coercion! We must do it our way and our way alone! To do otherwise is to betray centuries of hardship and struggle.

Above all else Kyfho. Forget Kyfho in your pursuit of victory over the enemy, and you will become the enemy...worse than the enemy because he doesn't know he is capable of anything better.”
F. Paul Wilson, An Enemy of the State

Eknath Easwaran
“As meditation deepens, compulsions, cravings, and fits of emotions begin to lose their power to dictate our behavior. We see clearly that choices are possible: we can say yes, or we can say no.

... "All we are is the result of what we have thought." By changing our mode of thinking, we can remake ourselves completely.”

“Why do you want a new truth when you do not practice what you already know?

Far better to read a few books and make them your own than to read many books quickly and superficially.”

“My father was very sure about certain matters pertaining to the universe. To him all good things-trout as well as eternal salvation-come by grace and grace comes by art and art does not come easy.”
Norman Maclean, A River Runs Through It and Other Stories

“They were still so young they hadn't learned to count the odds and to sense they might owe the universe a tragedy.”
