"Work was like a stick. It had two ends. When you worked for the knowing you gave them quality; when you worked for a fool you simply gave him eyewash. Otherwise, everybody would have croaked long ago. They all knew that." from `One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich'

Rated • 1 review • politics • bbc.co.uk
"Correspondents say the highlighting of Mr Romney's alleged French-language skills is an attempt to portray him as an elitist, European-style liberal wimp."

From the page: "On using technology to create art, he said: "I used to think watercolour was quite fast, faster say than oil so you could capture fleeting effects.
"I now find the iPad is faster than anything."
Hockney creates new pictures on his tablet computer every day - sending some to galleries, and others to friends. He said the device allowed him to condense "four or five hours' work into 30 seconds".

Rated • 1 review • environment, politics • thehill.com
What most Americans believe is simple: If you're going to judge something -- a gymnastics meet, a traffic court, a piece of legislation -- you should not take money from one side.

"The basho is the limit of and that which sustains our universe, beyond which, Dr. Motoyama states, is God. In brief, Dr. Motoyama's system is a synthesis of Samkhya (atheistic), Buddhism (non-theistic) and Shinto (theism) that incorporates yogic cultivation, the energy systems of the body-mind as well as faith in God."
