"This is cool. Irving is transporting me through a different world. From Selvilla to Granada in the early 19th century. Bandits roam the mountain passes and the peasants are poetic. The landscape has a hard beauty and the people a rugged grace. In Granada, and the next chapter, the Alhambra awaits. That last bastion of Islamic Spain, the stronghold of exiled Ummayyad princes; Andalusia." Jul 12, 2012 08:27AM

Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.
“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.”
Theodore Roosevelt

Frantz Fanon
“Negrophobes exist. It is not hatred of the Negro, however, that motivates them; they lack the courage for that, or they have lost it. Hate is not inborn; it has to be constantly cultivated, to be brought into being, in conflict with more or less recognized guilt complexes. Hate demands existence and he who hates has to show his hate in appropriate actions and behavior; in a sense, he has to become hate. That is why Americans have substituted discrimination for lynching. Each to his own side of the street.”
Frantz Fanon, Black Skin, White Masks

Chuck Palahniuk
“No one wants to admit we’re addicted to music. That’s just not possible. No one’s addicted to music and television and radio. We just need more of it, more channels, a larger screen, more volume. We can’t bear to be without it, but no, nobody’s addicted. We could turn it off anytime we wanted.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Lullaby

Jon Krakauer
“I thought climbing the Devil's Thumb would fix all that was wrong with my life. In the end, of course, it changed almost nothing. But I came to appreciate that mountains make poor receptacles for dreams.”
Jon Krakauer, Into the Wild

Albert Einstein
“If at first the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it.”
Albert Einstein
