  1. Why does Sisyphus wear his best smoking? He was having a ball.😂

  2. “Youth is wasted on the young.” - George Bernard Shaw (maybe)

    I am going to settle into my sofa and continue reading The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoevsky. It is probably the last of three books by the author that I will read, because there are so many books and so little time. I already read Crime and Punishment, and The Brothers Karamazov.

    But back to the introductory quote: Many of the classics I am reading were probably read by others in high school or early college, instead of as a geezer in my case. But I think I would not have fully understood the philosophical implications of many classics if I had read them in my youth. In fact, although I read The Plague by Albert Camus in my youth and again as an old-timer, I was still fooled. I only recently learned after reading Brave Genius, Sean Carroll’s biography of Albert Camus and Jacques Monod, that The Plague is intended as an allegory for the Nazi occupation of France during World War II. Even my brother who read the book many years ago and later earned a PhD in English did not know this. Now I suppose that I should read it a third time.

  4. Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow; don't walk behind me, I may not lead; walk beside me, and just be my friend.

    «El absurdo nace cuando el ser humano busca sentido en un universo indiferente. Pero de ese absurdo surgen tres fuerzas: la rebeldía, la libertad y la pasión. Aceptar que la vida carece de sentido inherente no es resignación, es un llamado a vivir plenamente, a crear significado en cada acto, porque incluso en el silencio del mundo, la existencia merece ser abrazada.»

  20. A Copa da festa e a da hipocrisia

    Ao lado da multiplicidade de países, tantos jogos eletrizantes e estreias de muita luta, há impedimentos. Jogadores retidos, cães-farejadores revistando bagagens, abordagens humilhantes. Crônica da maior festa da terra, com cheiro de preconceito

  25. What is the connexion between Winnie the Pooh, Harry Potter, and Camus' Meursault? I look at how culture and non-verbal language add to the lossiness of written and spoken words. We likely understand the importance of body language, gestures, and visual cues, but there's more.
