And then he has nothing to do. After three weeks-or is it a lifetime?-of ceaseless activity, he has nothing to do. A very long sentence, anchored in solid nouns, with countless subordinate clauses, sc...
An epic simplicity
Above all, don't lose hope
A zoo is a cultural institution. Like a public library, like a museum, it is at the service of popular education and science. And by that token, not much of a money-making venture for the Greater Good...

يهاجر الناس بسبب تفاقم القلق, بسبب الأحساس المقيت بأنهم مهما عملوا بجدٍ فلن يأتيهم عملهم بنتيجة, وأن مايعمرونه في سنة قد يدمره الأخرون في يوم. بسبب الأحساس بأن المستقبل مقفل, وأنهم و إن دبروا أمورهم ف...

Why can't reason give greater answers? Why can we throw a question further than we can pull in an answer? Why such a vast net if there's so little fish to catch?
What a terrible thing it is to botch a farewell. I am a person who believes in form, in the harmony of order. Where we can, we must give things a meaningful shape. For example - I wonder - could you t...
