Nicolás Gómez Dávila“I was only 16 when I was selected for 'Madrasapattinam.' I celebrated my 17th birthday on the set of the film. That was the first time I had travelled to India, and it was a rollercoaster ride. I soon fell in love with the country.”

Joshua Cohen“The only honest way to approach the question of whiteness and blackness is to start by accepting that these are arbitrary categories that were invented in the 17th and 18th century in order to justify imperialism and slavery.

Not a lot better necessarily, but a little better, and that's just fine, because improving at golf, or anything else probably, is just a matter of making an endless series of tiny improvements.”
James Patterson, Miracle on the 17th Green: A Novel about Life, Love, Family, Miracles ... and Golf“If God did not exist it would be necessary to invent Him. But all nature cries aloud that He does exist."(Voltaire)”
