Aladdin in his most intoxicated moments would never have dreamed of asking his [djinn] for [a polaroid] ... it's utterly new in concept and appearance, utilizing an utterly revolutionary flash system, an utterly revolutionary viewing system, utterly revolutionary electronics, and utterly revolutionary film structure.
Asking Electronics Revolutionary
There is one vice of which no man in the world is free; which every one in the world loathes when he sees it in someone else; and of which hardly any people, except christians, ever imagine that they are guilty themselves. […] there is no fault which makes a man more unpopular, and no fault which we are more unconscious of in ourselves.[…]the vice i am talking of is pride or self-conceit: and the virtue opposite to it, in christian morals, is called humility.
Christian Humility Pride
The cheapness of wine seems to be a cause, not of drunkenness, but of sobriety. ...people are seldom guilty of excess in what is their daily fare... on the contrary, in the countries which, either from excessive heat or cold, produce no grapes, and where wine consequently is dear and a rarity, drunkenness is a common vice.

Toward seven o'clock every morning, i leave my study and step out on the bright terrace; the sun already burns resplendent between the shadows of the fig tree, makes the low wall of coarse granite warm to the touch. here my tools lie ready and waiting, each one an intimate, an ally: the round basket for weeds: the zappetta, the small hoe with a short haft . . . there's a rake here as well, at at times a mattock and spade, or two watering cans filled with water warmed by the sun. with my basket and small hoe in hand, facing the sun, i go out for my morning walk.

We can work on inner peace and world peace at the same time. on one hand, people have found inner peace by losing themselves in a cause larger than themselves, like the cause of world peace, because finding inner peace means coming from the self-centered life into the life centered in the good of the whole. on the other hand, one of the ways of working for world peace is to work for more inner peace, because world peace will never be stable until enough of us find inner peace to stabilize it.
Peace Mean Self
A few really dedicated people can offset the masses of out of harmony people, so we who work for peace must not falter, we must continue to pray for peace and to act for peace in whatever way we can. we must continue to speak for peace and to live the way of peace; to inspire others, we must continue to think of peace and know that peace is possible. what we dwell upon we help bring to manifestation. one little person giving all of her time to peace makes news. many people giving some of their time can make history.
Peace Thinking People

We must see that peace represents a sweeter music, a cosmic melody, that is far superior to the discords of war.
