Ler em todos os momentos / Read to lead
Duane Bryers
"Read at every wait; read at all hours; read within leisure; read in times of labor; read as one goes in; read as one goest out. The task of the educated mind is simply put: read to lead.”
Marcus Tullius Cicero

3 citações sobre a vida / 3 quotes about life
“Keep away from people who belittle your ambitions. Small people do that, but the great people are the ones who make you feel that you too, can be great.”
Mark Twain “Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most.”

A cultura dos povos por Agostinho da Silva
"Os povos serão cultos na medida em que entre eles crescer o número dos que se negam a aceitar qualquer benefício dos que podem; dos que se mantêm sempre vigilantes em defesa dos oprimidos não porque tenham este ou aquele credo político, mas por isso mesmo, porque são oprimidos e neles se quebram as leis da Humanidade e da razão; dos que se levantam, sinceros e corajosos, ante as ordens injustas, não também porque saem de um dos campos em luta, mas por serem injustas; dos que acima de tudo defendem o direito de pensar e de ser digno".
Agostinho da Silva, in 'Diário de Alcestes'

Reciprocidade: um poema, um beijo / Reciprocity: a poem, a kiss
“The world comes into the poem,
The poem comes into the world.
Reciprocity - it all comes down
To that.
As with lovers:
When it’s right you can’t say
Who is kissing whom.”
The poem comes into the world.
Reciprocity - it all comes down
To that.
As with lovers:
When it’s right you can’t say
Who is kissing whom.”
Gregory Orr, from “Concerning the Book that is the Body of the Beloved”

O socialismo da biblioteca pública / The socialism of the public library
Alex Dukal
“I can’t think of a more egregious example of government-sponsored socialism than the public library. Unproductive citizens without two nickels to rub together are given access to millions of books they could never afford to buy on their own — all paid for with the tax dollars of productive citizens. Does the government pay for people to rent tuxedos for free, sail boats for free, or play golf for free? No, it does not. So why should it pay for people to read books and surf the Internet for free?”
