Death Comes As The End

Death Comes As The End
Agatha Christie 


  • A trifle, a little, the likeness of a dream. And death comes as the end.
  • Proof must be solid break walls of facts.
  • Let us think only of the good days that are to come.
  • It's as easy to utter lies as truth 
  • Fear is incomplete knowledge 
  • The rottenness comes from within.

Understanding Power: The Indispensable Chomsky

Understanding Power: The Indispensable Chomsky Noam Chomsky See, one of the interesting features of the 1980s is that to a large extent the United States had to carry out its foreign interventions through the medium of mercenary states. There’s a whole network of U.S. mercenary states. Israel is the major one, but it also includes Taiwan, South Africa, South Korea, [...], they’re international terrorist networks of mercenary states. It’s a new phenomenon in world history, way beyond what anybody has ever dreamt of. Other countries hire terrorists, we hire terrorist states, we’re a big, powerful country. But this 42-page document is kind of interesting. It outlines a massive international terrorist network run by the United States. It lists the countries that were involved, the ways we got them involved. All of it is focused on one thing in this case, the war in Nicaragua. But there were plenty of other operations going on, and if you expanded it to look at, say, Angola, and Afghanistan...

ثورة الأرض

  ثورة الأرض جوزيه ساراماجو تتمتع الأرض أيضا بالمنظر الطبيعي. ومع أن بقية الأشياء ينقصها شيء، إلا أن المنظر دائما فائض بغزارة، تلك الغزارة التي يمكن تفسيرها فقط بالمعجزة التي لا تكل، ذلك لأن المنظر الطبيعي بلا أدنى شك أقدم من الإنسان، وبرغم هذا الوجود السرمدي، ما زال باقيا لم ينفد إن أردنا أن نصفها، فهى أرض رحبة، حدباء، بها شيء من ماء الضفاف، تجود به السماء أحيانا وتبخل أحيانًا أخرى، وصوب الجنوب تمتد مستوية، ملساء مثل كف اليد، مع أن جزءاً كبيراً منها، بقصد من الزمن، مال للانغلاق على نفسه مع مرور السنين فصارت مثل يد الفاس أو المنجل أو المحش. إنها الأرض التي تشبه أيضًا كف اليد فى أنها مغطاة بخطوط وسبل، وطرقها الحقيقية التى ستصبح فيما بعد قومية، عندما لا تتبع المجلس المحلى تصل الثلاثة طرق لأن الرقم ثلاثة رقم شاعری سحرى، وكنسى وكل الأمور الأخرى نجدها مفسرة فى هذه الخطوط ذهابا وإيابا ، بسككها ذات القدم الحافية والعارية بين الحقول والشجيرات بين جدامات القمح والزهور الحسناء، بين السور والصحراء. منظر طبيعي هائل. يستطيع المرء أن يمشى من هنا طيلة حياته دون أن يعثر على نفسه أبداً، إن ولد تائه...

The God Of Small Things

The God Of Small Things Arundhati Roy For Mary Roy who grew me up. Who taught me to say 'excuse me' before interrupting her in Public. Who loved me enough to let me go. For LKC, who, like me, survived. Never again will a single story be told as though it's the only one - John Begoer In those early amorphous years when memory had only just begun, when life was full of Beginnings and no Ends, and everything was For Ever. Her tears made everything that had so far seemed unreal, real. It was always there. Like a fruit in season. Every season. As permanent as a government job. Neglect seemed to have resulted in an accidental release of the spirit.  Though you couldn't see the River from the house any more, like a seashell always has a sea-sense,  the Ayemebem house still has a river-sense. A rushing, rolling, fishswimming sense.  They used to make pickles, squashes, Curry powders and canned pineapples. And Banana Jam (illega...
