    Re: politics

    Never, never say to an Armenian writer, "It's easy for you to say." Only readers who know nothing about the history of our literature are capable of uttering such nonsense. Being a writer, being an Armenian writer, being an honest Armenian writer has never been easy. As a boy, my elders repeatedly warned me of this, but I ignored them. Which goes to show that idealism can lead one to hell as surely as a life of crime.

          Stendhal: “All my life I have always seen what I imagined rather than reality.” *There is an element of wishful thinking in all thinking. Propagandists know this and do their utmost to exploit it, and the more successful they are, the greater the distance between us and reality.#

            According to some psychologists, the compulsion to speak the truth is neurotic. By contrast, the compulsion to lie is a survival tactic and as such in no need of psychiatric treatment.

                HOW TO FIX WALL STREET
                **************************************
                Penalize those who make vast fortunes
                while others go bankrupt.
                Moderate greed may be useful,
                but excessive greed fully qualifies as
                “cruel and unusual punishment” on underdogs.

                There are no Armenians, only part-Turks;
                or, in American Negro parlance “Oreos” --
                black on the outside, white on the inside;
                or in our case, Armenian on the outside,
                Turk on the inside.
                To say otherwise is to rate
                propaganda above biology.
