| | | | This is from the play by G.E. Lessing, called Nathan der Weise.
"Die Menschen sind nicht immer, was sie scheinen, doch selten etwas Besseres."
My translation:
"People are hardly ever what they appear to be, but seldom something better."
Exactly how it's put. I think it holds truth in this world. | |

I'm currently reading 'The Communist Manifesto'; short & never read it, so was curious as to what all the hoo-hoo was about. "Working men of all countries unite!" | |

| | | I've always wanted to read the Manifesto in public just to see the reactions.
I've been reading the Aubrey-Maturin series. Excellent historical fiction. Master & Commander, the Russel Crow movie, was based off it. Got the full Sherlock Holmes collection, too. And before that I read the Worst Hard Time. A book focusing on the people who lived through the Dust Bowl.

| | Geeze, 'Got Engrish', you guys?
I said you have to explain the quote (either its meaning or why you posted it). But, I know.... it's hard to understand my online accent... 
This one's for DM, something I think he's good at: Humor offers an alternative to violence… Humor gives us choice. | |
