The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

He has really achieved a lot over eighteen months. Western multilateralism that has defined the entire post-war period is more or less dead. The Europeans should take heed and not just hope for a return of this bygone era.

Yes, the Anglo-Saxon world is retiring from the stage. Too bad the special relationship turned out to be a relationship between special countries.

There is plenty of room to criticize at this point.

I never suspected how fragile this all was.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Seriously. Even North Korea's criticism has a point.

It wasn't even that fragile. But there's only much you can do for a relationship when your partner gets a voluntary lobotomy, tears up all your stuff and starts picking fights with everyone.
