The lesson for asia is; if you have a central bank, have a floating exchange rate; if you want to have a fixed exchange rate, abolish your central bank and adopt a currency board instead. either extreme; a fixed exchange rate through a currency board, but no central bank, or a central bank plus truly floating exchange rates; either of those is a tenable arrangement. but a pegged exchange rate with a central bank is a recipe for trouble.

You know what i am going to say. i love you. what other men may mean when they use that expression, i cannot tell. what i mean is that i am under the influence of some tremendous attraction which i have resisted in vain, and which overmasters me. you could draw me to fire, you could draw me to water, you could draw me to the gallows, you could draw me to any death, you could draw me to anything i have most avoided, you could draw me to any exposure and disgrace. this and the confusion of my thoughts, so that i am fit for nothing, is what i mean by your being the ruin of me.

Equity is a roguish thing. for law we have a measure, know what to trust to; equity is according to the conscience of him that is chancellor, and as that is larger or narrower, so is equity. 't is all one as if they should make the standard for the measure we call a "foot" a chancellor's foot; what an uncertain measure would this be! one chancellor has a long foot, another a short foot, a third an indifferent foot. 't is the same thing in the chancellor's conscience.

Beach Passion Hands
Under various names, i have praised only you, rivers! you are milk and honey and love and death and dance. from a spring in hidden grottoes, seeping from mossy rocks, where a goddess pours live water from a pitcher, at clear streams in the meadow, where rills murmur underground, your race and my race begin, and amazement, and quick passage.

I write poetry because i can’t disobey the impulse; it would be like blocking a spring that surges up in my throat. for a long time i’ve been the servant of the song that comes, that appears and can’t be buried away. how to seal myself up now?…it no longer matters to me who receives what i submit. what i carry out is, in that respect, greater and deeper than i, i am merely the channel.

Where is everybody? humans could theoretically colonize the galaxy in a million years or so, and if they could, astronauts from older civilizations could do the same. so why haven't they come to earth?

What i saw wasn't a ghost. it was simply--myself. i can never forget how terrified i was that night, and whenever i remember it, this thought always springs to mind: that the most frightening thing in the world is our own self. what do you think?
