"I was never educated to be an actor. I went to a regular college. It was a great thing for me because I feel that the main thing to get out of college is a thirst for knowledge. College should teach you how to be curious. Most people think that college is the end of education, but it isn't. The ceremony of giving you the diploma is called commencement. And that means you are fit to commence learning because you have learned how to learn."

Every year on #April #22, #Earth #Day marks the #anniversary of the #birth of the modern #environmental #movement in 1970. We are honoring Earth Day with the #futurist #Buckminster #Fuller (1895-1983), an American #architect, #systems #theorist, #author, #designer, #inventor and #philosopher. Fuller believed human societies would soon rely mainly on #renewable #sources of #energy, such as #solar- and #wind-derived #electricity.
Fuller developed numerous inventions, mainly architectural designs, and popularized the widely known #geodesic #dome; #carbon #molecules known as fullerenes were later named by scientists for their structural and mathematical resemblance to geodesic #spheres.
I just copied this from *https://karsh.org/buckminster-fuller-2/ :)
A quotation by Smith, Logan Pearsall
Every author, however modest, keeps a most outrageous vanity chained like a madman in the padded cell of his breast.
Logan Pearsall Smith (1865-1946) American-English essayist, editor, anthologist
Afterthoughts (1931)

Books that I read in 2021 - number 23:
Every now and then I like to read something by Balzac. I found this book in a second-hand bookshop. It is the GDR edition with an old translation. It was not easy for me to follow the complicated story, but I enjoyed the interesting constellation of characters and Balzac's tone, which is always a bit mocking. The English titel of this book is "A Murky Business" and it is part of his giant multi-volume collection of novels "La Comédie Humaine".

The Austrian playwright, whose Slovenian heritage had inspired in him a fervent nationalism during the Balkans war, had publicly suggested that #Sarajevo’s #Muslims had massacred themselves and blamed the Serbs, and denied the #Srebrenica #genocide. Seven years after #Rushdie’s scorching condemnation, in 2006, he would also attend war criminal #Milošević’s funeral.
