Perhaps only in a world of the blind will things be what they truly are.

The world is governed by institutions that are not democratic - the World Bank, the IMF, the WTO.

I think we are blind, Blind but seeing, Blind people who can see, but do not see.

People live with the illusion that we have a democratic system, but it's only the outward form of one. In reality we live in a plutocracy, a government of the rich.

The novel is not so much a literary genre, but a literary space, like a sea that is filled by many rivers.

The U.S. needs to control the Middle East, the gateway to Asia. It already has military installations in Uzbekistan.

Words that come from the heart are never spoken, they get caught in the throat and can only be read in ones's eyes.

A journey never ends. Only the travellers end.

We use words to understand each other and even, sometimes, to find each other.

No human being can achieve all he or she desires in this life except in dreams, so good night all.

The true value of a gift is the sentiment behind the gifting.

May my life radiates the beauty of God's glorious grace to mankind.

God doesn't owe us anything yet in His grace, He still gives us good things.

There is no physician like Him, none can save as He can; we love Him, and He loves us, and therefore we put ourselves into His hands.

A man rarely knows the day and hour when he will die. I could be killed any moment and there's not a blasted thing I can do about it.

An education could be given which would sift individuals, discovering what they were good for, and supplying a method of assigning each to the work in life for which his nature fits him.

The best education I've had in my life is to travel.

I'm always working on concepts and ideas for the future.

There is growing consensus that new parents need help--information, advice, practical assistance--and that infants and toddlers need stimulation as well as care and nurture.

The more we refine our understanding of God to make the concept plausible, the more it seems pointless.
