### Imagine

" Imagine if even
it is difficult to imagine
A world in which each person is truly fortunate, fortunate
Imagine a world where money and power are not worth
anti-riot police is not the answer for unison
it has no nuclear weapon, no bombers, no mortars
no child leaves his leg on the land mine
all are free, totally free, all have no pain, no pain
you do not read in newspapers, the whales have committed suicide
Imagine a world without hatred and gunpowder
No cruelty of arrogant, no fear and idolatrous
Imagine a world filled with smile and freedom
filled with the flowers and kisses, filled with repeated prosperity
Imagine if even
its imagination is a crime
Imagine a world in which the prison is a legend
all the wars of the world are included in ceasefire
nobody is the master of the world
the people are all equal
each person will share in each single seed of wheat
without borders and limitations, home country is the whole world
Imagine you can
be the interpretation of this dream
* 1,2,3

## Quotes

* It is bias to think that the art of war is just for killing people. It is not to kill people, it is to kill evil. It is a stratagem to give life to many people by killing the evil of one person.
** As quoted in The Japanese Art of War (1991) by Thomas Cleary
* See first with your mind, then with your eyes, and finally with your body.
** As quoted in Living the Martial Way : A Manual for the Way a Modern Warrior Should Think (1992) by Forrest E. Morgan, p. 88.
* Throwing down your own sword is also an art of war. If you have attained mastery of swordlessness, you will never lack for a sword. The opponent's sword is your sword. This is acting at the vanguard of the moment.
** As quoted in Soul of the Samurai (2005) by Thomas Cleary, p. 28
** Variant translation: If you have attained mastery of swordlessness, you will never be without a sword.
* Conquering evil, not the opponent, is the essence of swordsmanship.
** As quoted in Behold the Second Horseman (2005), by Joseph Lumpkin, p. 44.
* It is easy to kill someone with a slash of a sword. It is hard to be impossible for others to cut down.
** As quoted in Behold the Second Horseman (2005), by Joseph Lumpkin, p. 53.

### A Hereditary Book on the Art of War (1632)

    兵法家伝書 Heihō kadensho, also translated as The Book of Family Traditions on the Art of War
* A stroke of the sword that does not hit its target is the sword stroke of death; you reach over it to strike the winning blow. Your adversary's initiative having missed its mark, you turn the tables around and get the jump on your adversary.
* Once a fight has started, if you get involved in thinking about what to do, you will be cut down by your opponent with the very next blow.
* When you strike a blow, do not let your mind dally on it, not concerning yourself with whether or not it is a telling blow; you should strike again and again, over and over, even four or five times. The thing is not to let your opponent even raise his head.
* There may be a hundred stances and sword positions, but you win with just one.
* If you gaze at a single leaf on a single tree, you do not see the other leaves. If you face the tree with no intention and do not fix your eyes on a single leaf, then you will see all the many leaves. If your mind is preoccupied with one leaf, you do not see the others, if you do not set your attention on one; you will see hundreds and thousands of leaves.

## Quotes

* Reason should be understood as the foundation of meaning, reflection on reality and the guiding criterio for the formation of the individual. Loving kindness as a virtue which makes it possible to have an interpersonal relationship and facilitates the growth of the young person. And religion, which, together with reason identifies, defines and engages human beings in the relationship with God.

## Quotes

* [Duesberg] is absolutely correct in saying that no one has proven that AIDS is caused by the AIDS virus. And he is absolutely correct that the virus cultured in the laboratory may not be the cause of AIDS.
** Hippocrates (Sept./Oct. 1988)
* The community as a whole doesn't listen patiently to critics who adopt alternative viewpoints. Although the great lesson of history is that knowledge develops through the conflict of viewpoints. If you simply have a consensus, it generally stultifies. It fails to see the problems of that consensus and it depends on the existence of critics to break up that iceberg and permit knowledge to develop. This is in fact one of the underpinnings of democratic theory. It is one of the reasons why we believe in notions of free speech and it's one of the great forces in terms of intellectual development.
** Meditel (1990)
* I would not be surprised if there were another cause of AIDS and even that HIV is not involved.
** As quoted in Omni (June 1993)
* I am afraid that those comments go back to the late 80's. At that time I was a skeptic — the argument based on Koch's postulates to try to distinguish between cause and association. … Today I would regard the success of the many antiviral agents which lower the virus titers (to be expected) and also resolve the failure of the immune system (only expected if the virus is the cause of the failure) as a reasonable proof of the causation argument

# Walter Greiner

Walter Greiner (1935 –2016) was a German theoretical physicist. His research interests were in atomic physics, heavy ion physics, nuclear physics, elementary particle physics (particularly in quantum electrodynamics and quantum chromodynamics).

## Quotes
### Quantum Chromatodynamics (3rd ed., 2007)

Walter Greiner, Stefan Schramm and Eckart Stein, Quantum Chromatodynamics (3rd ed., 2007)
* About 70 years ago, only a small number of “elementary particles”, thought to be the basic building blocks of matter, were known: the proton, the electron, and the photon as the quantum of radiation. All these particles are stable (the neutron is stable only in nuclear matter, the free neutron decays by beta decay: n→p+e$^−$+${\overline {\nu }}$). Owing to the availability of large accelerators, this picture of a few elementary particles has profoundly changed: today, the standard reference Review of Particle Properties lists more than 100 particles. The number is still growing as the energies and luminosities of accelerators are increased.

## Quotes

* My friends, the Missionaries have already corrupted and denationalised a large proportion of the boys and girls of the Kendyan chiefs. I could give you names of boys and girls who are at this moment ashamed of their own Singhalese parents; and these boys and girls were educated in Missionary school. And so, from this point of view, the Missionaries have done much positive harm to Ceylon. Let us now sum up- (1) The Missionaries have taught false doctrines. (2) They have misrepresented Christianity. (3) They have divorced you from your ancestral culture. (4) The have made you worldly. (5) They have made your boys and girls ashamed of their own parents.
* I have no doubt that many of you here are fathers and mothers, and have boys and girls in Missionary schools even now. Frankly, do you not think that it is your duty to have them educated as Hindus? For the sake of Government jobs. Are you prepared to sacrifice the interest of your own blood, your own ancestral cultural inheritance, and your own religion? If your boys become doctors, or lawyers and cease to be Hindus, what is the benefit? Is that the ideal transmitted to you by the great Rishis?

# Walter Gropius

Walter Adolph Georg Gropius (May 18, 1883 – July 5, 1969) was a German architect and founder of the Bauhaus. Along with Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier, he is widely regarded as one of the pioneering masters of modern architecture.

## Quotes of Walter Gropius

* The ultimate goal of all visual artistic activity is construction! Architects, painters and sculptors must learn again to know and understand the multi-faceted form of building in its entirety as well as its parts. Only then will they of their own accord fill their works with the architectonic spirit they have lost in the art of the salon. Let us establish a new guild of craftsmen without the presumption of class distinctions building a wall of arrogance between craftsmen and artists. Together let us call for, devise and create the construction of the future, comprising everything in one form: architecture, sculpture and painting.
** Manifesto (1919)
* Art itself cannot be taught, but craftsmanship can. Architects, painters, sculptors are all craftsmen in the original sense of the word. Thus it is a fundamental requirement of all artistic creativity that every student undergo a thorough training in the workshops of all branches of the crafts.
** As quoted in Paul Klee, 1879-1940 (2000) by w:Susanna Partsch, p. 47
* The mind is like an umbrella - it functions best when open.
** As quoted in The Art of Looking Sideways by w:Alan Fletcher, p. 129
* A modern, harmonic and lively architecture is the visible sign of an authentic democracy.
** In 'The Observer' (London), 'Sayings of the Week'
* Architecture begins where engineering ends.
** In Architects on Architecture, Speech, Harvard Department of Architecture (Paul Heyer (ed.))

## Quotes about Walter Gropius

* This is what has Gropius the director made the w:Bauhaus famous. Not its lamps or its furniture. They are all out of fashion already. But the way of approaching formal problems or material as such, that has made it famous. And the emphasis on material, especially its capacity is my contribution. That was never cleared between us teachers: Kandinsky did what he thought should be done. Klee developed an absolutely different method. Schlemmer developed absolutely something else.

## Quotes

* Authorities ... are where they are only because God is allowing them to be there. They exist only at his sufferance. And if God is willing to put up with...the Roman Empire, you ought to be willing to put up with it, too. There is no indication God has called you to clear it out of the way or get it converted for him. You can't fight an Empire without becoming like the Roman Empire; so you had better leave such matters in God's hands where they belong.
** Christian Anarchy: Jesus’ Primacy Over the Powers (1987)
* Whether or not our position fairly can be charged as “apolitical” depends entirely upon how one defines “political.” If “political” be taken in the narrow sense, as signifying those means and methods the world regularly accepts as normative for its doing of politics, then the position of me and mine clearly and is that of apoliticism. If, however, “political” be understood in the broad, etymological sense, as identifying whatever actions have public effect upon the life of the “city” (polis), then there are no grounds for accusing either “me” or any of “mine” of advocating apoliticism.

## Quotes

* Discovering more joy does not, I'm sorry to say, save us from the inevitability of hardship and heartbreak. In fact, we may cry more easily, but we will laugh more easily, too. Perhaps we are just more alive. Yet as we discover more joy, we can face suffering in a way that ennobles rather than embitters. We have hardship without becoming hard. We have heartbreak without being broken.

# Ya'qub ibn al-Layth al-Saffar

Ya'qūb ibn al-Layth al-Saffār (Persian: یعقوب لیث صفاری; 25 October 840 – 5 June 879) was a coppersmith and the founder of the Saffarid dynasty of Sistan, with its capital at w:Zaranj (a city now in south-western Afghanistan). Under his military leadership, he conquered much of the eastern portions of Greater Iran consisting of modern-day Iran, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan as well as portions of western Pakistan and a small part of Iraq.

## Quotes

* After this we read nothing of Kabul till the time of the Saffarides — A.H. 256 A.D. 868-9.' In the succeeding year Ya'kiib Lais took Kabul, and made its prince a prisoner. The king of Ar Rukhaj was put to death, and its inhabitants forced to embrace Islam. Ya'kiib returned to his capital loaded with booty, and carrying with him the heads of three kings ; and many statues of Indian divinities, which were amongst the booty, were sent to Baghdad for presentation to the Khalif.'
** Elliot and Dowson, p 419
* “He first took Bãmiãn, which he probably reached by way of Herãt, and then marched on Balkh where he ruined (the temple) Naushãd. On his way back from Balkh he attacked Kãbul… “Starting from Panjhîr, the place he is known to have visited, he must have passed through the capital city of the Hindu Šãhîs to rob the sacred temple - the reputed place of coronation of the Šãhî rulers-of its sculptural wealth… “The exact details of the spoil collected from the Kãbul valley are lacking. The Tãrîkh [-i-Sistãn] records 50 idols of gold and silver and Mas’udî mentions elephants. The wonder excited in Baghdãd by elephants and pagan idols forwarded to the Caliph by Ya’qûb also speaks for their high value. “The best of our authorities put the date of this event in 257 (870-71). Tabarî is more precise and says that the idols sent by Ya’qûb reached Baghdãd in Rabî’ al-Ãkhar, 257 (Feb.-March, 871). Thus the date of the actual invasion may be placed at the end of AD 870.”
** Balkh and Kabul (Afghanistan) Tãrîkh-i-Tabarî, Cited by Abdur Rahman, The Last Two Dynasties of the Shãhîs, Delhi Reprint, 1988, pp. 102-4
