Through the Looking-Glass

Today’s society seems to make a strict point of putting harlots as heads of convents and nuns as heads of brothels. By doing so, we become then incapable of doing anything beyond reversing meaning and reality, as directed by the wishes of the powerful or the delusional.

Knowledge is like candles

Knowledge is like candles: when one is used to light another, it does not diminish the light of the first. On the contrary, everything becomes brighter. 

(Thomas Jefferson) 

Traduzione: La conoscenza è come le candele: quando se ne usa una per accenderne un’altra, non diminuisce la luce della prima. Al contrario, tutto diventa più luminoso.
