FROM MY NOTEBOOKS ****************************************** There is an old saying: “When you’re down, the only way is up.” Like all rules this one too has its exceptions: Armenians. * The Greek jury that condemned Socrates to death; the men who crucified Christ; the solitary Hindu who assassinated Gandhi: they all shared one thing in common: they were brainwashed to believe the gods, truth, and historic necessity were on their side. * If you brainwash children to believe in the myth of the Holy Trinity, they will be inclined to believe in many other trinities like liberté, fraternité, egalité; thesis, anti-thesis, synthesis; Marx, Engels, Lenin… * A nation that hates together stays together. * Judge a tree by its fruit and a propaganda line by the number of its victims. * I quote to enhance my credibility. What the hell does an Armenian scribbler know? An odar author, that’s different. Prof. Hamalian on Zarian, after reading my translations: “He writes like one of my bright students.” * Academics: they all proceed from the assumption that they know better. Question: With over a thousand Armenian academics in America alone, why is it that our collective existence is in such a mess? #
