Revolutions arise from obstinacy. People are dissatisfied with what they are told and they develop new ideas.
Revolutions are of no us;, it is necessary to work on transforming the brain: on sowing a different knowledge/awareness, on creating a new conscience, that is like a magic box full of brains.
There is a quiet revolution going on in the study of the Bible. At its center is a growing awareness that the Bible is a work of literature and that the methods of literary scholarship are a necessary part of any complete study of the Bible.
Not only these were new kinds of stories, they were being told with a new kind of formal structure. [...] The result was a storytelling architecture you could picture as a colonnade - each episode a brick with its own solid, satisfying shape, but als...

There is tragic evidence to show that the paintings at the French prehistoric art sites are deteriorating.
I was definitely ahead of my friends. I was French-kissing girls way before anybody else was.
My favourite film is 'Le Diner de Cons,' a French movie.
My first restoration was on 'Napoleon,' trying to put the French version in with the English version, and it was most unsatisfactory.

Franchesca and Sharkey, my French bulldogs, have their own blog. And they are brilliant at it.

My father's Peruvian! I actually have a lot of family in Cuzco. I'm also Swiss, Alaskan, French, Spanish and Italian.
