    *********************************
    THE WRITING ON THE WALL
    ***************************************
    God did not abandon us in 1915.
    It was the other way around.
    God was on our side every strep of the way.
    But again and again we chose to ignore Him.
    *
    God placed some very smart Armenians
    within the Ottoman Administration to warn us
    of the coming catastrophe.
    But again and again we deliberately chose
    to ignore their warnings.
    *
    God sent many foreign observers and missionaries
    to Istanbul and elsewhere within the empire
    who immediately saw the shape of things to come,
    but again and again we assumed we knew better
    and dismissed their predictions as alarmist nonsense.
    *
    God did not abandon us in 1915.
    It was we who abandoned Him
    by pretending to be to illiterate
    and ignorant to decipher
    the Writing on the Wall.

      I put my trust only in men who speak against their own interests. Or, in the words of Jean-Paul Sartre on the final page of his memoirs: "I depend only on men who depend on God and I don't believe in God."

        THE WRATH OF GOD
        Catastrophes like volcanoes and earthquakes
        are sometimes thought to be expressions of God’s wrath.
        But if God had emotions and got angry
        whenever men misbehaved,
        he would have collapsed from high blood pressure,
        kidney failure, bleeding ulcers, heart attacks
        and strokes centuries, perhaps even millennia, ago.

            The only thing I have in great abundance
            is limitations.
            *
            Lack of understanding is a serious limitation
            that allows one to commit the same blunder
            over and over again
            and pretend to be smart.
            *
            Killing writers is not a favorite Armenian sport.
            I was dead wrong to say that.
            We don’t kill writers.
            What we do is betray them to the authorities.

              ON DIPLOMACY
              ************************
              After centuries of practice,
              great powers have learned
              how to cover their ass
              by pretending to be
              for law and order, peace,
              and the brotherhood of all men
              even as they go about behaving like swine.

              ON GOD
              ****************
              Think of god not as a being
              but as a point of reference,
              an abstraction like zero and infinity
              that doesn’t have to exist to be real.

              ON TRANSLATION
              ***************************
              The first and most important commandment: Do not attempt to translate the untranslatable.

              ON FAITH
              *******************
              Men of faith do not represent god on earth.
              They are dupes of propaganda and as such
              more closely allied with the devil.

                Think of god not as a being or “a bearded old bugger floating in space,” but as a feeling that comes from the depths of time and your own subconscious, *To deny his existence is to deny the reality of your subconscious and time both of which you can neither see nor touch.#

                  You don't know God but you are now telling everyone who and what he is ???
                  Why do you talk? Apparently the urge is great.
                  You don't know anything but you do talk.

                      It is written: "At the beginning was the word."
                      It is also written: "You cannot cook pilaf with
                      words."
