Damn, Iceland really is cold.

It would look lovely cross stitched onto a pillow.

I'd love to read more of that translation.

"I'm going to write a book someday and the title will be
I'M AN ASS, YOU'RE AN ASS. That's the most liberating, wonderful
thing in the world, when you openly admit you're an ass. It's
wonderful. When people tell me, "You're wrong". I say, "What can
you expect of an ass"?

Disarmed, everybody has to be disarmed. I n the final liberation, I 'm
an ass, you're an ass. Normally the way it goes, I press a button and
you're up; I press another button and you're down. And you like that.
How many people do you know who are unaffected by praise or
blame? That isn't human, we say. Human means that you have to be
a little monkey, so everybody can twist your tail, and you do
whatever you OUGHT to be doing"

Anthony de Mello
