Re: status quo

WHO LOVES ARMENIANS?
Not even Armenians.
Am I saying something you don't know?
Is it conceivable to say anything to an Armenian that he doesn't already know?

Re: status quo

The solution to our problems is not a verbal formula. But if you insist on a verbal solution, abracadabra is as good as any.

QUESTION ************************ A noted French philosopher (Merleau-Ponty) once described the German occupation of France during World War II, as being “raped by history.” *How are we to describe our own experience? After being gang-raped for 600 years we were eviscerated?* Are we dead or alive? A great many of us, perhaps the best and the brightest, are dead. As for the survivors: it is not the best in them that survived, but the worst. *I now speak from my own personal experience based on my numerous encounters with our bosses, bishops, benefactors and their yes-men, flunkies, hirelings and dupes.#

in the original Garden humans outnumbered reptiles….

ARMENIANS IN ISTANBUL
*********************************
In his superbly illustrated coffee-table book, NEW EUROPE, Michael Palin has a section on Armenians in Istanbul, where he discusses the assassination of Hrant Dink, the photographer Ara Guler (“a Jew and also an Armenian”), and “a debonair art dealer” by the name of Raffi Portakal.

ON FORGIVENESS
*********************************
Everybody speaks of forgiveness;
nobody speaks of making oneself
worthy of forgiveness.
*
How does one make oneself worthy of forgiveness?
The fact that you are asking that question suggests
you are not yet worthy of it; which means,
you are the same bastard that you were
when you committed the transgression.
*
When you offended your victim,
you didn’t ask how do I go about offending him?
You did so because it was an authentic expression
of your nature. Being worthy of forgiveness
requires a radical change in character.
Otherwise it is not and cannot be authentic.

Re: status quo

It doesn't take much for an Armenian to transfer his hatred of Turks onto his fellow Armenians. A misplaced comma will do as conveniently as a misunderstood semicolon.

FROM MY NOTEBOOKS
*********************************
“God save America.”
He is the only one who can.
*
America is pro-Turkish and anti-Armenian.
America must now choose between Trump and Hillary.
Do you see a connection here?
*
“God save America?
God DAMN America!”
Remember him?
What happened to him?
Is he dead or alive?
*
The history of our literature is undeniable proof
of the fact that some of us refused to be moronized.

Subservience is an instrument of the devil.

Nightingales serenading the moon is bird-watching not literature.

What is literature? To say what must be said.

Some truths should be repeated as often as big lies.
