Struck

You need to spend more time being in awe.

        “No object is so beautiful that, under certain conditions, it will not look ugly.”
~ Oscar Wilde

          When I saw this quote, I laughed, saying to myself that apparently Oscar Wilde has never ever seen Halle Berry or  Indira Varma or Zoe Saldana or ... the list goes on

“Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone puts his hand on you, send him to the cemetery.”      -- Malcolm X


I found this quote while reading an article about Thomas Hagan, formerly known as Talmadge X. He’s the man who looked Malcolm X in his eyes and proceeded to take his life and a big part of the Civil Rights Movement in the process. 

On April 28 2010, after 16 unsuccessful parole attempts, Thomas Hagan will also be a free man.

The fastest judgments we make are about others.
And the ones we accept the slowest are about ourselves.

So by the time we realize the judgment is right, more often than not, we've already made the mistake again.

No wonder they say that History repeats itself :) :)
