"People observe the colours of the day only at its beginnings and ends, but to me it’s quite clear that a day merges through a multitude of shades and intonations, with each passing moment. A single hour can consist of thousands of different colours. Waxy yellows, cloud-spat blues. Murky darknesses. In my line of work, I make it a point to notice them."

- The Book Thief by Markus Zusak (via aeloquence)

One of the best books I’ve read over the last year or so. This one’s sure to be a classic.

Bad ideas spread like wildfire :( I hope I live to see Kabul return to what it once was.

"I have already said that I am not involved in the 11 September attacks in the United States… . Whoever committed the act of 11 September are not the friends of the American people. I have already said that we are against the American system, not against its people, whereas in these attacks the common American people have been killed… .The Western media is unleashing such a baseless propaganda, which makes us surprised, but it reflects on what is in their hearts and gradually they themselves become captive of this propaganda… . Terror is the most dreaded weapon in the modern age and the Western media is mercilessly using it against its own people."

Some thoughts on the last Glee episode (yes, I just got a chance to watch it - SHUTTUP)

1) The slap. Woah, Quinn. First time I felt (some) sympathy for Rachel.

2) The punch. Finn seems to be suffering from PMS.

3) Kurt as Prom Queen :( :( Why are people so mean?

4) Blaine. (Not feeling very sorry for Kurt anymore)

5) Jesse. I think he’s the best male singer on the show. Great to have him back.

6) Friday. People are getting really pissed off at the show for covering this joke of a song. I think it was great they did it. Friday and Rebecca Black have become a huge part of the present teen culture. Ofcourse, the song is famous for all the wrong reasons but that doesn’t change the fact that it is one of the most talked about songs these days. And I’m glad Glee covered it.

"…that small number, that self-conscious and rebellious minority born by every social order in consequence of those injustices to which the masses are subject, acts like a historical ferment, which suffices, as it always did, to make the world progress."
