When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.
When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.
When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.
When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I wasn't a Jew.
When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.
-- Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984) |

I dedicate this to all "aspiring" Armenian "men":
"Masculinity is not something given to you, but something you gain. And you gain it by winning small battles with honor. "
And this--to aspiring moralists:
"Sentimentality is the emotional promiscuity of those who have no sentiment."
And finally, my favorite of his quotes, to those who understand it 
"Ultimately a hero is a man who would argue with the gods, and so awakens devils to contest his vision."
Norman Mailer , a prolific and major literary force of the last century, an eccentric genius, the Oscar Wilde of our age, recently deceased. Hat's off. |
