Quote of the day.....

Even when history takes a nap... 

Turns a blind eye to truth and 

Stone deaf to the words of wise...

Becomes mute in speaking facts....

Nature is not with out response to

Human folly.

         *        *        *       *       *

We need history, but not the way a spoiled 

loafer in the garden of knowledge needs it.
 
-- Nietzsche.
Of the Use and Abuse of History

       *        *        *        *        *

There is no document of civilization 

which is not at the same time 

a document of barbarism.

-- Walter Benjamin
