„Nincs veszedelmesebb egy szabad nép kormányzásában, mint a titkolózás, amely sok gyanúra és bizalmatlanságra ad lehetőséget…– Nem kívánok birodalmat, nem kincset tűletek, s nem egyebet: az igaz, bátor magyar szívet, hogy az magaméval összekapcsolván, veletek éljek és haljak!"

In 'The Marriage of Heaven and Hell', subverts standard religious notions. Hell is depicted as a place of unbounded, fiery creativity. Angels are prudish, conventional & often the butt of Blake's humour while devils have a certain ironic wisdom. wrote: "I was walking among the fires of Hell, delighted with the enjoyments of Genius; which to angels look like torment and insanity."

I just finished Klara and The Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro and then read some reviews. What I noticed was that those who thought the book was about themes of a larger scale had more negative view of the book, while those who saw its themes as being more personal, really liked it. I have boring to really add to this, I just thought it was an interesting dynamic.

Greetings all, on this literally dreadful day in the U.S. I'm here because I can't participate in or support all that the new owner of Twitter represents. I can't go along. I can't participate, which is what going along is to me. I can't support, which is what participating is. This is an opportunity to do things in a new way. Fresh starts are good. Change is good. Development is good.
