I'm becoming daily more and more misanthropic and misogynous...nothing worthwhile, good or useful to do... no one to devote myself to. My situation makes me horridly sad and wretched. Even musical production has lost its attraction for me for I can't see the point or goal. (Charles-Valentin Alkan)

I find the English amazing how they got over 7/7. There were no multiple memorials with people sobbing as they would have been in America (9/11 attacks). There, they are constantly scaring people but at the same time, people think nothing of going to see a therapist.

There are some bored foreigners, with full stomachs, who have nothing better to do than point fingers at us... First, China doesn't export Revolution; second, China doesn't export hunger and poverty; third, China doesn't come and cause you headaches, what more is there to be said?

Xi Jinping

Never give in--never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.
