Welcome to my experimental blog. Here you may find links to interesting or useful articles, and meet individuals whom I think have helped decrease misery, or added beauty and happiness in this world.
Thought for The Day:
"I still believe in man in spite of man. I believe in language even though it has been wounded, deformed, and perverted by the enemies of mankind. And I continue to cling to words because it is up to us to transform them into instruments of comprehension rather than contempt. It is up to us to choose whether we wish to use them to curse or to heal, to wound or to console." — Elie Wiesel
