Inland, they said, was the capital of their tribe, MbanzaKongo, where there lived a powerful leader or king, the ManiKongo.”

    “Yesterday, I asked a robot, Gumball I think, do you know Murphy’s law of gravitation? It answered, ‘No, sir, I know only Newton’s and Einstein’s laws of gravitation; I don’t know Murphy’s law.’ I replied, ‘Eh, Gumball, the slice always falls with the buttered side to the floor. That’s Murphy’s law.’” Everyone burst into laughter.”

    James Redfield
    “How people are excluded is important,’ he said. ‘When we dislike someone, or feel threatened by someone, the natural tendency is to focus on something we dislike about the person, something that irritates us. Unfortunately, when we do this – instead of seeing the deeper beauty of the person and giving them energy – we take energy away and actually do them harm. All they know is that they suddenly feel less beautiful and less confident, and it is because we sapped their energy.”
    ― James Redfield, The Celestine Prophecy: how to refresh your approach to tomorrow with a new understanding, energy and optimism

    Günter Grass
    “Love

    That’s it:
    The cashless commerce.
    The blanket always too short.
    The loose connexion.

    To search behind the horizon.
    To brush fallen leaves with four shoes
    and in one’s mind to rub bare feet.
    To let and rent hearts;
    or in a room with shower and mirror,
    in a hired car, bonnet facing the moon,
    wherever innocence stops
    and burns its programme,
    the word in falsetto sounds
    different and new each time.

    Today, in front of a box office not yet open,
    hand in hand crackled
    the hangdog old man and the dainty old woman.
    The film promised love.”
    ― Günter Grass
