The Last Unicorn The novel “The Last Unicorn” by writer Peter S. Beagle (winner of numerous awards for the fantasy genre) is, like the titular being, a very unusual creature.

Warrior of the Sun I couldn’t help but (bitterly) smile a bit at the fates of scientists and innovators. It seems they struggle “against windmills” their whole lives.

For this he was chained to a rock and tortured for all eternity” (opening sentence of the film) Science and its development is what indebted humanity and enabled it to progress and initiate revolutions of smaller or larger scales.

John Wick 2 “You stabbed the devil in the back and forced him back into the life that he had just left. You incinerated the priest’s temple. Burned it to the ground. Now he’s free of the marker, what do you think he’ll do? He had a glimpse of the other side and he embraced…
John Wick Vigo Tarasov: I hear you struck my son. Aurelio: Yes, sir, I did. Vigo Tarasov: And may I ask why? Aurelio: Yeah, well, because he stole John Wick’s car, sir, and, uh, killed his dog. Vigo Tarasov: [silence] Oh… (From the film “John Wick”) A quiet and silent man had the crazy…
Be Water, My Friend “Empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless, like water. You put water into a cup; it becomes the cup. You put water into a teapot; it becomes the teapot. You put it into a bottle; it becomes the bottle. Water can flow or it can crash! Be water my friend” – Bruce…
Meditations “The human soul wrongs itself when it allows itself to be overpowered by pleasure or pain” – Marcus Aurelius For those who perhaps don’t know (or went to school long ago and forgot), Marcus Aurelius Antoninus was a Roman emperor in the period from 161 to 180 AD. He’s the last ruler from…
