“Noi leggeveamo un giorno per diletto Di Lancialotto, come amor lo strinse; Soli eravamo e senza alcun sospetto Per più fiate gli occhi ci sospinse Quella lettura, e scolorocci il viso; Ma solo un punto fu quel che ci vinse.

“We ought to know the history of our ancient ancestors.”

Lailah Gifty Akita

Thus, when a new leader is chosen, don't offer to help him with your wealth or your…

Those of us with this ancient compulsion to tell stories sometimes start with a single kernel of something.

Edward P. Jones

All the stories I have told you are finally as useless as all ancient knowledge is to man and to us. Its images and its poetry can be beautiful; it can make us shiver with the recognition of things we have always suspected or felt. It can draw us back to times when the earth was new to man, and…
