debate over its impact and credibility, giving rise to
a number of perspectives harboured by their respective
scholars. Resulting from this division is a lack of universal
acceptance towards a single definition beyond broad descriptions
such as increased global interconnectedness.” Hence

A big true fact 10/6/2005
Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books,
history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled,

A quote 10/6/2005
A man who becomes conscious of the responsibility he bears
toward a human being who affectionately waits for him,
or to an unfinished work, will never be able to throw away
his life. He knows the "why" for his existence,
and will be able to bear almost any "how."

To fill our hearts with hate

Clutters the capitals of the land.

Fail to see the aim of our attack.

And to our steady government complain
