Homer's Odyssey Through the Centuries
Troilus and Cressida was the first work by Shakespeare that I ever read. A long time has passed, and I remember the introduction claiming that it was an unfinished comedy. That memory is probably the result of a later reconstruction on my part: I have never managed to find the copy of the book I read back then, nor have I found any commentator referring to that interpretation.
In any case, Troilus Read more of this blog post »

“The era we live in has provided humanity with extraordinary tools, forcing us to view the world differently than we did not so long ago. It presents us with new challenges and demands that we confront new problems. Retreating into the past, evoking the idea of eternal conflict, will not eliminate the challenges that lie ahead.”

Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”

“Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.”
