Remember Khaled Said.

scientia donum dei est, unde vendi non potest

珈琲時光 - Café Lumière [2003]

"I don't know how to stop the war."

The revolution does not want power, but meaning.

...

What do you want?

... to make each moment creative. ...

Paradise Now

"Wir handeln nicht, weil wir erkennen, sondern wir erkennen, weil wir zu handeln bestimmt sind"

Bestimmung des Menschen (1800)
III.i. [S. 263]
Johann Gottlieb Fichte

"The world now demands a maturity of America that we may not be able to achieve."

"Now, it should be incandescently clear that no one who has any concern for the integrity and life of America today can ignore the present war."

Martin Luther King, Jr

January 17, 1961

"... in the goodness of time, all peoples will come to live together in a peace guaranteed by the binding force of mutual respect and love."

Dwight David Eisenhower
Farewell Address

[unless the U.S. becomes in thrall to the likes of Lockheed Martin]

I'm the mystery's final page ...

I'm the stranger's lonely glance.

...

I'm the world you'll never see.
I'm the slave you'll never free.


The Divine Comedy
Gin-soaked Boy (1999)

et si habuero prophetiam et noverim mysteria omnia et omnem scientiam et habuero omnem fidem ita ut montes transferam caritatem autem non habuero nihil sum

I Corinthii XIII ii

Saturnalia

"... time has run out for all those who wait ..."

And every pulse of your heartbeat is one liquid moment
That flows through the veins of your being.
Like a river of life flowing on since creation
Approaching the sea with each new generation,
You're now just a stagnant and rancid disgrace
That is rapidly drowning the whole human race.

Tapestry
Don McLean
1970

______ faz o mundo girar.

US contribution to the the climate change debate ...

"We want to be free! We want to be free to do what we want to do! We want to be free to ride. And we want to be free to ride our machines without being hassled by The Man. And we want to get loaded. And we want to have a good time! And that’s what we’re gonna do. We’re gonna have a good time. We’re gonna have a party!"

The Wild Angels
1966, dir Roger Corman
