FROM MY NOTEBOOKS
**********************************
In the months preceding the Genocide
there was a great deal of intense dialogue
between Armenian leaders,
but as always with Armenians,
the dialogue failed to produce a synthesis.
*
Dialogue Armenian style:
two monologues that never cross.
*
Academics have mastered the art
of expanding a sentence to a page,
a page to a chapter,
and a chapter to a book:
a condition also known as verbal diarrhea.
*
Nothing comes more naturally to a man
than to exaggerate his own importance.
*
Anyone who says Armenians are
just about the smartest people on earth
should be classified under
just about the dumbest idiot on earth.
