More From Isak Dinesen

Strip back the beliefs pasted on by governesses, schools, and states, you find indelible truths at one's core. rome'll decline and fall again, cortés'll lay tenochtitlán to waste again, and later, ewing will sail again, adrian'll be blown to pieces again, you and i'll sleep under the corsican stars again, i'll come to bruges again, fall in and out of love with eva again, you'll read this letter again, the sun'll grow cold again. nietzsche's gramophone record. when it ends, the old one plays it again, for an eternity of eternities.

If you say to the universe again and again, "how may i serve? how may i serve? how may i serve?" and you live a life of constancy reflecting that principle, the universe will respond back, "how may i serve you?"

There is nothing very odd about lambs disliking birds of prey, but this is no reason for holding it against large birds of prey that they carry off lambs. and when the lambs whisper among themselves, "these birds of prey are evil, and does this not give us a right to say that whatever is the opposite of a bird of prey must be good," there is nothing intrinsically wrong with such an argument-though the birds of prey will look somewhat quizzically and say, we have nothing against these good lambs; in fact, we love them; nothing tastes better than a tender lamb.

All those animals that were in the cages, i would spend a lot of time in those cages with the animals in-between shots, just hanging out, because i prefer animals to humans. if i get an opportunity to be with them, i'll usually take it.

If they embark on this course the difference between the old and the new education will be an important one. where the old initiated, the new merely 'conditions'. the old dealt with its pupils as grown birds deal with young birds when they teach them to fly; the new deals with them more as the poultry-keeper deals with young birds- making them thus or thus for purposes of which the birds know nothing. in a word, the old was a kind of propagation-men transmitting manhood to men; the new is merely propaganda.
Educational Men Differences
If your message to the universe is gimme, gimme, gimme, the universe's response back to that kind of mentality is exactly the same. the universe will say right back to you over and over again, gimme, gimme, gimme. if you shift that and you say to the universe, to the world, how may i serve? how may i serve? the universe's response back to you is how may i serve you? how may i serve you?

I was very struck by the fact that colin powell said he would produce evidence and then never produced it. then tony blair produced a document of seventy paragraphs, but only the last nine referred to the world trade center, and they were not convincing. so we have a little problem here: if they're guilty, where is the evidence? and if we can't hear the evidence, why are we going to war?
