Not under foreign skies
Nor under foreign wings protected

There, where misfortune had abandoned us

 With us acts are exempt from time, and we
Can crowd eternity into an hour
Or stretch an hour into eternity
We breathe not by a mortal measurement
But that's a mystery

«I Swear, that this Koran, from which the modern science lags behind on 1400 years, can not be speech of the person. It is true speech of Almighty»
World Without Sun –1964
If we were logical, the future would be bleak, indeed
But we are more than logical. We are human beings
and we have faith, and we have hope, and we can work

القانون الطبيعي

العدالة هي الخير الذاتي، فالدولة إذا لم تكن قوامها الروابط المعنوية التي تجمع بين الناس بعضهم ببعض فلم تكن إلاعصابة مسلحة من قطاع الطرق تسلب الناس أموالهم على أكبر نطاق ممكن، وإذا خرجت الدولة على قواعد الأخلاق فتكون بذلك مستبدة وتحكم رعاياها بالقوة، فتفقد بذلك طابعها الحقيقي كدولة.

But with respect to injustice there are two types: men may inflict injury; or else, when it is being inflicted upon others, they may fail to deflect it, even though they could. Anyone who makes an unjust attack upon a fellow human being, whether driven by anger or by some other perturbation, seems to be laying hands, so to speak, upon another human being. But also, he who fails to defend a fellow human being, or to obstruct injustice when it is within his power to do so, he is at fault just as if he had abandoned his parents or his friends or his country.

Marcus Tullius Cicero,sec. 23 (44 BCE)

Hitting all he saw with shafts
With gentle satire, kin to charity

Criminal History

Criminal History of Christianity

Maybe, who knows, a non-Christian world would have tumbled into as many wars though, during the last 17 centuries, the non-Christian world fought less wars than the Christian! But very hard to imagine in a Pagan world: all the hypocrisy of the Christians. Und even less thinkable their religious intolerance

Beauty surrounds us

قُل لِأَصحابٍ رأَوني مَيتا فَبَكوني إِذ رأوني حزنا

مَن رآني فَليقوّ نَفسهُ إِنَّما الدُنيا عَلى قرن الفَنا

Illustrator

The Book of Nonsense
On his headstone are inscribed these lines about Mount Tomohrit (in Albania) from Tennyson's poem To E.L. [Edward Lear], On His Travels in Greece
With such a pencil, such a pen.
You shadow forth to distant men,
I read and felt that I was there
