Quote

"The US regime is the embodiment of malevolence in the true sense of the word. It is the embodiment of violence. It causes crises and it wages wars. This is not something that has begun in the present time, rather this has been the case throughout all these years, parts of which we were witness to and parts of which we read here and there. From the beginning - not the very beginning, not the time when the US achieved independence from England, rather a short time after that - their life has been dependent on transgressing against different parts of the world for achieving, protecting and ensuring their interests." "As for nations, they are not important at all. They can be trampled upon by others. The US is the embodiment of evil. That is while this regime insults the Islamic Republic and the Iranian nation. They complain why the Iranian nation says, "Death to America." First of all, I should clarify this about American leaders: "Death to America" means "Death to Trump, John Bolton and Pompeo." Death to these individuals means death to American leaders. We have nothing to do with the American people. "Death to America" means death to you who are a bunch of individuals and the group of individuals who are running your country." - Ayatollah Ali Khamenei speaking to Iranian Air Force officers last week http://english.khamenei.ir/news/6404/Death-to-America-means-death-to-Trump-John-Bolton-Pompeo

"Admit it. You aren't like them. You're not even close. You may occasionally dress yourself up as one of them, watch the same mindless television shows as they do, maybe even eat the same fast food sometimes. But it seems that the more you try to fit in, the more you feel like an outsider, watching the "normal people" as they go about their automatic existences. For every time you say club passwords like "Have a nice day" and "Weather's awful today, eh?", you yearn inside to say forbidden things like "Tell me something that makes you cry" or "What do you think deja vu is for?". Face it, you even want to talk to that girl in the elevator. But what if that girl in the elevator (and the balding man who walks past your cubicle at work) are thinking the same thing? Who knows what you might learn from taking a chance on conversation with a stranger? Everyone carries a piece of the puzzle. Nobody comes into your life by mere coincidence. Trust your instincts. Do the unexpected. Find the others..." - Timothy Leary
