Quote of the Day
"Sometimes
the insane and the contrarians and the ones who are closest to suicide are the
most valuble people society has. They may be precursors of social change.
They've taken the burdens of the culture onto themselves, and in their struggle
to solve their own problems they're solving problems for the culture as
well."
- Robert M.
Pirsig, Lila
Poem of the Day
Defiance
Tighten my fetters.
Confiscate my papers
and cigarettes.
Fill my mouth with dust.
Poetry is blood in the heart,
salt in bread,
moisture in eyes.
It is written with fingernails,
with eyes,
with daggers.
I shall proclaim in my detention cell,
in the bathroom,
in the stable,
under the lash,
manacled,
in the violence of chains,
that a million birds
on the branches of my heart,
are singing fighting songs.
Mahmud Darwish
