It would hardly be a waste of time if sometimes even the most advanced students in the cognitive sciences were to pay a visit to their ancestors. It is frequently claimed in American philosophy depart...
حتىٰ الآن لا تصلح الهواتف الجوَّالة إلَّا للأزواج الخائنين ، الذين يتمنَّوْن تجنُّب استخدام هواتف المنزل ، و ربّما للسمكريّين أيضًا ، لأنّها تتيحُ الاتصال بهم في أيَّةِ لحظة في أثناء سَيْرهم
تفكّرتُ في مقولةٍ نُسِبَت إلى مديرِ أوركسترا ، عُرِف بلسانه اللاذع ، متحدِّثًا عن عازف «فلان في جنسِهِ عظيم ، فلان مِن جنسِ القذارة»
Значит, если я правильно понимаю, вы можете действовать и знаете, почему вы действуете, но вы не знаете, почему вы знаете, что вы знаете, как вам действовать?
Κύριε, να είστε περήφανος: σήμερα αγγίξατε έναν ωραιότατο θάνατο, και στο μέλλον να συμπεριφερθείτε με την ίδια αδιαφορία, ξέροντας ότι η ψυχή πεθαίνει μαζί με το κορμί. Κι επομένως, να πηγαίνετε στο...
Enanos —admitió Guillermo—, pero enanos subidos sobre los hombros de aquellos gigantes y, aunque pequeños, a veces logramos ver más allá de su horizonte.
As Boethius says, nothing is more fleeting than external form, which withers and alters like the flowers of the field at the appearance of autumn; and what would be the point of saying today that the...
We'll have to consult Aglie. I doubt that even he knows all these organizations.Want to bet? They're his daily bread. But we can put him to the test. Let's add a sect that doesn't exist. Founded recen...
They’re still there, Salon said. Not in Agarttha, but in tunnels. Perhaps beneath us, right here. Milan, too, has a metro. Who decided on it? Who directed the excavations? Expert engineers, I’d say. Y...
There, Master Niketas,’ Baudolino said, ‘when I was not prey to the temptations of this world, I devoted my nights to imagining other worlds. A bit with the help of wine, and a bit with that of the gr...
The dove, as it flies in the sun, seems simply to sparkle like silver, but only one who has been able to wait at length to discover its hidden face will see its true gold or, rather, the color of a sh...
The book has to give the idea of another kind of newspaper, has to show how I labored away for a year to create a model of journalism independent of all pressure, implying that the venture failed beca...
The Jesuits’ strategy became clear to us when we discovered Father Barruel. Between 1797 and 1798, in response to the French Revolution, he writes his Mémoires pour servir à l’histoire du jacobinisme,...
The Great White Fraternity—whether you call them Rosicrucians or the spiritual knighthood of which the Templars are a temporary incarnation—is a cohort of a few, a very few, elect wise men who journey...
So Italy was invaded by these Fraticelli or Friars of the Poor Life, whom many considered dangerous. At this point it was difficult to distinguish the spiritual masters, who maintained contact with th...
She used to come home alone at two in the morning. When I asked if she wasn't afraid of sexual maniacs, she told me her method. When a sexual maniac approached, threatening, she would take his arm and...
Se por acaso se espalhasse a ideia de que a poluição no mundo compromete não só as baleias mas também (desculpem o tecnicismo) os perus, acho que teríamos súbitas conversões ao ecologismo.
Poor idiot! Are you so foolish as to believe we will openly teach you the greatest and most important of secrets? I assure you that anyone who attempts to study, according to the ordinary and literal...
Perhaps if this abbey exists and if we still speak of the Holy Roman Empire, we owe it to the Irish. At that time, the rest of Europe was reduced to a heap of ruins; one day they declared invalid all...
On sober reflection, I find few reasons for publishing my Italian version of an obscure, neo-Gothic French version of a seventeenth century Latin edition of a work written in Latin by a German Monk to...
