More From Shusaku Endo

Men are four; he who knows and knows not that he knows. he is asleep; wake him. he who knows not and knows not that he knows not. he is a fool; shun him. he who knows not and knows that he knows not. he is a child; teach him. he who knows and knows that he knows. he is a king; follow him. the heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night.

There are four types of men in this world: 1. the man who knows, and knows that he knows; he is wise, so consult him. 2. the man who knows, but doesn't know that he knows; help him not forget what he knows. 3. the man who knows not, and knows that he knows not; teach him. 4. finally, there is the man who knows not but pretends that he knows; he is a fool, so avoid him.
Inspirational Wise Wisdom
We wear the mask that grins and lies, it hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,- - this debt we pay to human guile; with torn and bleeding hearts we smile and mouth with myriad subtleties. why should the world be otherwise, in counting all our tears and sighs? nay, let them only see thus, while we wear the mask. we smile, but, o great christ, our cries to thee from tortured souls arise. we sing, but oh the clay is vile beneath our feet, and long the mile; but let the world dream otherwise, we wear the mask!

The war on drugs to me is absolutely phoney, its so obviously phoney, ok? it's a war against our civil rights, that's all it is. they're using it to make us afraid to go out at night, afraid of each other, so that we lock ourselves in our homes and they get suspending our rights one by one.
War Home Night
I have always felt comedy and tragedy are roommates. if you look up comedy and tragedy, you will find a very old picture of two masks. one mask is tragedy. it looks like its crying. the other mask is comedy. it looks like its laughing. nowadays, we would say, how tasteless and insensitive. a comedy mask is laughing at a tragedy mask.
Two Laughing Tragedy
The real meaning of persona is a mask, such as actors were accustomed to wear on the ancient stage; and it is quite true that no one shows himself as he is, but wears his mask and plays his part. indeed, the whole of our social arrangements may be likened to a perpetual comedy; and this is why a man who is worth anything finds society so insipid, while a blockhead is quite at home in it.

The real tragedy of minimum wage laws is that they are supported by well-meaning groups who want to reduce poverty. but the people who are hurt most by higher minimums are the most poverty stricken.
Hurt Real Law
Tonally, there was no discussion; i just don’t know any other way to do it. i don’t want to make people feel bad, and i don’t want to make their problems into a joke. i do love telling people when they’re right and wrong, but for the most part, it was always going to be about real fights where people have a real difference of opinion and a real dispute. i want to make jokes, but i also want to make a decision that is fair.
Real Fighting Differences
The left and the right live in parallel universes. the right listens to talk radio, the left's on the internet and they just reinforce one another. they have no sense of reality. i have now one ambition: to retire before it becomes essential to tweet.
