thursday

1- Education is a state-controlled manufactory of echoes. – Norman Douglas

2- walking on the beach
    isn’t a waste of time if
    it helps clear your mind

3- Biden should stop promising
    and instead say he has set goals
    or dates he hopes to meet certain
   pandemic efforts by. It’s easier to
   miss a goal than to break a promise.

wednesday

1- Diplomacy is to do and say the nastiest things in the nicest way. – Isaac  Goldberg.

2- so many think it but
    few say it for fear of being
    thought cruel or heartless.

3- The nice thing about considering
    yourself president in exile is not
    having to admit you lost the election.
    The bad thing is you’re now able to
    be prosecuted for many of your crimes.

sunday

1- Democracy is the name we give to the people each time we need them. – Robert De Flers

2- In and out of the light:
    unknown, discarded, known,
    again and again.

3-  Trump will always be there,
until you forget about him.
Then he’ll come back in force
unless he’s financially bankrupted.
We know he’s morally bankrupt.

1- Death will be a great relief. No more interviews. – Katherine Hepburn

2- good design isn’t
    enough of you’ve nothing to say.
    nor is technique.

3- Have you tried to envision

       in the United States?

Wednesday

1-  Day, n. A period of twenty-four hours, mostly misspent. – Ambrose Pierce

2-  unsettled matters; / things the subconscious mind / won’t let you forget

3-  Who, what, where, when, why and how?
      TRUMP! Because his Republican Senate
      remained silent and spineless.
      How can they say this is still the party of
      a president in exile. Is this Chile? Venezuela?

tuesday

1-  Perhaps in time the so-called Dark Ages will be thought of as including our own. – G.C. Lichtenberg

2-  do I exist as / memories in other minds / as they do in mine?

3-  As regards masks: Why encourage those who consider it a political statement to not wear one to wear one? I think “too stupid to live” should be allowed to pursue their own goals, uninterrupted by us.
