ِan offer you can't refuse.

The end of 'the end' is the best place to begin 'the end', because if you read 'the end' from the beginning of the beginning of 'the end' to the end of the end of 'the end', you will arrive at the end.
Best Place Ends Ifs
Power properly understood is nothing but the ability to achieve purpose... one of the great problems of history is that the concepts of love and power have usually been contrasted as opposites --- polar opposites --- so that love is identified with a resignation of power, and power with a denial of love... what is needed is a realization that power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.
Love Is Opposites Justice
We are so anxious to achieve some particular end that we never pay attention to the psycho-physical means whereby that end is to be gained. so far as we are concerned, any old means is good enough. but the nature of the universe is such that ends can never justify the means. on the contrary, the means always determine the end.
Mean Attention Pay
You think the end justifies the means, however vile. i tell you: the end is the means by which you achieve it. today's step is tomorrow's life. great ends cannot be attained by base means. you've proved that in all your social upheavals. the meanness and inhumanity of the means make you mean and inhuman and make the end unattainable.
Mean Thinking Upheaval
I used many times to touch my own chest and feel, under its asthmatic quiver, the engine of the heart and lungs and blood and feel amazed at what i sensed was the enormity of the power i possessed. not magical power, but real power. the power simply to go on, the power to endure, that is power enough, but i felt i had also the power to create, to add, to delight, to amaze and to transform.

Far too often the ukrainian issue is posed as a showdown: whether ukraine joins the east or the west. but if ukraine is to survive and thrive, it must not be either side's outpost against the other - it should function as a bridge between them.

Listen, you have now found the conditions in which the desire of your heart can become the reality of your being. stay here, until you acquire a force in you that nothing can destroy. then you'll need to go back into life, and there you will measure yourself constantly with forces which will show you your place.
Heart Reality Desire
I am struck here by the curious mixture of justice and injustice in our lives. we are blamed for our real faults but usually not on the right occasions.
