A quotation from Samuel Johnson

Yet it is certain, likewise, that many of our miseries are merely comparative: we are often made unhappy, not by the presence of any real evil, but by the absence of some fictitious good; of something which is not required by any real want of nature, which has not in itself any power of gratification, and which neither reason nor fancy would have prompted us to wish, did we not see it in the possession of others.

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
Essay (1753-11-27), The Adventurer, No. 111

A quotation from Mark Twain

The conviction of the rich that the poor are happier is no more foolish than the conviction of the poor that the rich are.

A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

To know what you like is the beginning of wisdom and of old age. Youth is wholly experimental. The essence and charm of that unquiet and delightful epoch is ignorance of self as well as ignorance of life. These two unknowns the young man brings together again and again, now in the airiest touch, now with a bitter hug; now with exquisite pleasure, now with cutting pain; but never with indifference, to which he is a total stranger, and never with that near kinsman of indifference, contentment.

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
Essay (1888-09), “A Letter to a Young Gentleman who Proposes to Embrace the Career of Art,” Scribner’s Magazine, Vol. 4, No. 3

“You talkin’ to me”

Taxi Driver at 50: Martin Scorsese’s film remains a troubling reflection of our times - a forlorn portrait of a society coming apart at the seams.

“There are a lot of Travis Bickles, especially right now.”

"They’re all talking to each other on the internet. When I first wrote about him, he was talking to nobody. He really was, at that point, the Underground Man. Now he’s the Internet Man."

"It is a sobering thought."

I will always favorite and boost a force-fit Richard III toot. As for the over-excited zealots complaining about the reference to Discord, the desired target form would not support USENET or Archie or BBS or other archaic protocols or environments. Pay no attention to those philistines.

A quotation from Henry Commager

The rich and respectable have always had their ways of making their discontent heard; the poor and unorganized must resort to protests and marches and demonstrations.

Mass #Protests Highlight Growing #Discontent With #Netanyahu & the #Gaza #War

Many Israelis feel that freeing the #hostages cannot happen if the government refuses to come to terms with #Hamas & pursues its policy of trying to eliminate the group militarily.

A quotation from Bertrand Russell

Merely to realize the causes of one’s own envious feelings is to take a long step towards curing them. The habit of thinking in terms of comparison is a fatal one.

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Conquest of Happiness, Part 1, ch. 6 “Envy” (1930)

A quotation from Hanna Arendt

Totalitarianism begins in contempt for what you have. The second step is the notion: “Things must change — no matter how, Anything is better than what we have.” Totalitarian rulers organize this kind of mass sentiment, and by organizing it articulate it, and by articulating it make the people somehow love it.

Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
Interview (1973-10) with Roger Errera, Office de Radiodiffusion-Télévision Française (ORTF)

Moldova - energy crisis in #Transnistria part of Russia’s larger plan

Repeated refusal of so-called authorities to use solutions [accepting non-Russian gas] offered by Chisinau is being avoided

The Democrats are incapable of presenting a program to address the social crisis in America, because they are a party of Wall Street and the military, which allows Trump to capitalize on broad-based discontent that finds no expression within the political establishment.
