Their leaders did not seek #Quote by Felipe Fernandez-Armesto

#19. When you have your best interest at heart, because your first relationship is with yourself and you will not have someone else's best interest at heart before having your own, you wouldn't purposely choose to open yourself up to a detrimental experience.

Always ask the turtle. #Quote by Gloria Steinem

#37. It is one thing to be understanding of human weakness and the complexities of life, and another to accept ideologies that attempt to sunder what are inseparable aspects of reality.

#40. The end of Egypt's isolation turned what had been only occasional and incidental contact with the rest of the Near East into a constant and significant exchange of goods and ideas. The new cosmopolitanism introduced new forms and motifs and a growing naturalism to art.

at Thebes and other cities
marked the first real urbanization in Egyptian society. #Quote by Norman F. Cantor

#47. And so I began to read,' Sorkar said. 'And at first the complete works were like a jungle, the language was quicksand. Metaphors turned beneath my feet and became biting snakes, similes fled from my grasp like frightened deer, taking all meaning with them. All was alien, and amidst the hanging, entangling creepers of this foreign grammar, all sound became a cacophany. I feared for myself, for my health and sanity, but then I thought of my purpose, of where I was and who I was, of pain and I pressed on. #Quote by Vikram Chandra
