How fortunate Buddha, Mahomed, and Shakespeare were that their kind relations and doctors did not cure them of their ecstasy and their inspiration
Anton Chekhov (The Lady with the Dog and Other Stories)
How fortunate Buddha, Mahomed, and Shakespeare were that their kind relations and doctors did not cure them of their ecstasy and their inspiration," said Kovrin. "If Mahomed had taken bromide for his nerves, had worked only two hours out of the twenty-four, and had drunk milk, that remarkable man would have left no more trace after him than his dog. Doctors and kind relations will succeed in stupefying mankind, in making mediocrity pass for genius and in bringing civilisation to ruin. If only you knew.

Mi nesrazmjerno više govorimo, nego što radimo. Mnogi imaju tu osobinu da misle da su uradili, kad su govorili. Dalje, mahom više polažu na pravo da govore no na pravo da rade. Ja sam često pravio opservaciju, da je mnogim našim ljudima glavno da se izgovore, a posebno da nekoga predstave u rđavoj svjetlosti i da naprave dosetku na njegov račun, a razuman čovek može voditi i raspraviti stvar kako hoće – onima prvima, izgleda nije do toga toliko stalo; glavno je da su oni riječima dosta učinili i sebe zadovoljili. Možda u tu grupu spada i to, što su mnogi naši zadovoljni, kad su ustanovili načela rada ili upravo napisali programe, zadovoljni su toliko, da posle ne misle ozbiljno o akciji i konsekvencijama, koje su upravo sve, prvo je bez drugog besposlica.
Jovan Cvijić
This is the reason why the presence of cats exercises such a magic influence upon highly-organized men of intellect. This is why these long-tailed Graces of the animal kingdom, these adorable, scintillating electric batteries have been the favorite animal of a Mahommed, Cardinal Richelieu, Crebillon, Rousseau, Wieland.
Leopold von Sacher-Masoch (Venus in Furs)
Bazilika Pompozan naziv za crkvu. Uvijek je impozantna. Budžet Nikad u ravnoteži. Dužnosti Zahtijevati ih od drugih, a sam ih se osloboditi. Drugi ih imaju prema nama, ali mi ih nemamo prema drugima. Gramatika Dati da je uče djeca već od najmlađe dobi, jer je to stvar jasna i laka. Gramatičari Mahom cjepidlake.

Ali ovde se, i to je nasleđe iz Miloševićevog perioda, toliko toga događa, a to su mahom pseudodogađaji, koji vas stalno drže na ringišpilu i vi nikako ne možete da sastavite tu priču, jer stalno imate neke potrese koji okupiraju ljude. Kao kada se sruši kuća, a vi ne kažete – srušila se kuća, nego govorite – pala ova cigla, pala ona cigla, brojimo te cigle, gle evo još jedne cigle. Kada se kuća ruši, padaju cigle, zašto brojiš svaku ciglu? Ali to je još Milošević uspostavio, kad god se zapetlja i nađe u neprilici, on stvori novi skandal i onda se svi bave tim skandalom, dok ne naiđe novi skandal. I to suviše dugo traje i ljudima se neprekidno vrti u glavi.
Srđa Popović (One gorke suze posle)
VLADAR IZ ZAPADNE LIBIJE Uglavnom se svideo u Aleksandriji, za tih deset dana svoga boravka, Menelajev sin Arispomen, vladar iz zapadne Libije. Kao ime, i odeća mu, uljudno, helenska. Rado je prihvatio počasti, ali ih nije tražio: bio je skroman. Kupovao je helenske knjige, mahom iz istorije i filosofije. Iznad svega, bio je škrt na rečima. Mora da je dubokih misli, govorilo se, a prirodno je što takvi ne pričaju suviše. Nije bio dubokih misli, niti čega drugog. Sasvim običan, smešan čovek. Uzeo je helensko ime, odevao se poput Helena, a naučio je, manje-više, i da se ponaša kao Heleni. U duši je strepeo da slučajno ne pokvari povoljan utisak ako govori helenski sa strašnim varvarizmima, a Aleksandrinci bi ga otkrili, već po svom običaju, nesrećnici. Stoga se ograničio na malo reči, pazeći sa strahom na padeže i na izgovor; i nisu ga malo mučili ti razgovori koji su se gomilali u njemu.
Constantinos P. Cavafy (C.P. Cavafy: Collected Poems)
Moj gospodaru, zemlja zvana Bosna nesrećna je zemlja koju ne vrijedi osvajati, još manje držati, ali se može podnijeti kao prijateljska. Time nam ne bi smetala, a služila bi bar kao sigurno konačište na prolazu. Ona nije kraljevstvo u našem smislu. Kralj je sprdnja poludivlje baronijade. Gospoda strepe jedan od drugog. Puk fanatično mrzi i kralja i barune. Sa četiri strane, Vama već poznati aspiranti- podmeću, izazivaju, napadaju i otimaju. Ovo je zemlja suza, pokolja i užasa. A lica ovog svijeta su mirna, razgovor se vodi sporo i o prošlosti se govori s ponosom, a o budućnosti s nadom. Čudesa! Muškarci su neka mješavina Slavena, Ilira, Kelta i Romana. Kod kuće ne vraćaju mačeve u korice- za pojilo, za ispašu, za prijek pogled, za ružnu riječ. Na evropskim turnirima zadivljuju zdravljem, snagom, elegancijom i ratničkim vještinama. U vlastitim kućama- nehatom, lijenošću, sujetom i prljavštinom. Mahom su patareni. Sloj posvećenih živi isposnički i ispašta za ostale koji uživaju u paganskom komoditetu. Žene su im visoke, ćutljive i teške, bez šarma. Moram priznati da ipak ima nešto privlačno u njihovom mrkom kamenitom dostojanstvu. Umiju biti kraljice i sluškinje. U dvor u koji uđu, donesu korist i mir, ali- vedrine nema. Preporučio bih najmlađu Kotromanićku za Vašeg nećaka princa Eduarda. Samo bi njena bosanska ozbiljnost ukrotila njegove žudnje za rasipanjem i orgijanjem. Neka se Gospod smiluje ovoj zemlji. Dok ona sebe ne nađe, mi u njoj nema bogzna šta da tražimo. Osim gostoprimstva na našim proputovanjima prema istoku.
Derviš Sušić (Uhode)
It was a hugely significant moment: with one stroke of the pen, in return for a relatively modest payment of Rs2.6 million,* and Clive’s cynical promise on behalf of the Company to govern ‘agreeably to the rules of Mahomed and the law of the Empire’, the Emperor agreed to recognise all the Company’s conquests and hand over to it financial control of all north-eastern India. Henceforth, 250 East India Company clerks backed by the military force of 20,000 Indian sepoys would now run the finances of India’s three richest provinces, effectively ending independent government in Bengal for 200 years. For a stock market-listed company with profit as its main raison d’être, this was a transformative, revolutionary moment.

Mahomed has often been mocked for peopling his paradise with desirable women, and inviting us to long for their caresses. But surely he was responding to a natural and healthy instinct, which finds in the contemplation of a beautiful body, not only the stimulus to desire, but also the satisfaction of a deeper yearning. We yearn, in fact, to justify the human body, to give grounds for our feeling that this is God's image. And in this yearning is expressed our real knowledge that we are our bodies and that they are we.
Roger Scruton (Sexual Desire: A Philosophical Investigation)
The inhabitants of the place came to call this ethos the “Kansas City Spirit,” the idea that something small would become something grand if only the people believed.

The Jacksonville Jaguars felt they already had their future with Blake Bortles and took running back Leonard Fournette instead. The Jets were okay with Geno Smith and Josh McCown and instead took safety Jamal Adams. The Bengals decided to hold onto Andy Dalton and drafted wide receiver John Ross.i It was like heaven for the Kansas City Chiefs.

This was Mahomes. He was different at quarterback. He was not about having the perfect technique. He did not need to be trained to throw it like Tom Brady or Peyton Manning. He did not want to be the next Joe Montana or Brett Favre. He wanted to be the first Patrick Mahomes.

There, at 5650 Ward Parkway, Pendergast hired a Nichols architect to design him an ostentatious mansion that was near equal parts French Regency, Italian Renaissance, and American Prairie.

General Hospital No. 2, a public hospital that served the Black working class and poor. The community held the hospital in high regard despite political corruption and racist policies stunting its development. Its all-Black administration and staff were a first for a municipal hospital in the United States, and the hospital’s training programs were nationally recognized. Around one-third to one-half of the country’s Black medical school graduates in the 1920s found internships in Kansas City and St. Louis.

Sure, you could grab a drink during Prohibition in plenty of cities, but Kansas City stood out for its blatant disregard of federal law. Most of the bars weren’t even speakeasies. At the Chesterfield Club in downtown, naked waitresses—with their pubic hair shaved to represent diamonds, hearts, clubs, or spades—served cocktails to distinguished businessmen.

As America suffered from the Depression, Kansas City soared, thanks to the Ten-Year Plan. “In Kansas City,” said Conrad Mann, the president of the chamber of commerce, “we are building the greatest inland city the world has ever seen.” New skyscrapers sprouted from the ground every year, and jazz clubs rollicked into the morning, at a time when, as one agent put it, the rest of the country “couldn’t afford three dollars a night for a musician.” Pendergast liked to think generosity was at the core of his power. When a British parliamentarian named Marjorie Graves visited his Main Street office in 1933, he told her he helped “the poor through our organizations.” It was true that Tom’s Town was built on undervalued workers—immigrants, Black labor, the poor. “The Boss” hosted a fancy dinner for the needy every Christmas and kept quarters in his pockets for the homeless. By the early 1930s, with police brutality against the Black community on the rise, Pendergast seized control of the Kansas City Police Department, taking it back from the state of Missouri, which had assumed leadership in the Civil War era. Pendergast assigned staffing oversight to “Brother John” Lazia, the leader of the Fifth Democratic Ward and a charismatic crime boss, and when dozens more loyal Pendergast supporters were appointed to the force, The Kansas City Call reported that police brutality had declined. But Pendergast’s Ten-Year Plan funds rarely made it to Black communities, and the occasional gifts from his patronage system masked the need for lasting racial reforms.

The city had never been more corrupt, with local government by fiat and the threat of political violence never far away, and, strangely, it had never been more relevant. Under the watchful eye of Pendergast, Walt Disney opened Laugh-O-Gram Studios near Thirty-First and Troost Avenue. Cub reporter Ernest Hemingway wrote short, declarative sentences at The Kansas City Star (abiding by the paper’s house style). Nell Donnelly popularized gingham for American mothers and built a fashion empire. Baseball stars Paige and O’Neil turned the Kansas City Monarchs into a Negro Leagues powerhouse. Homer B. Roberts invested profits to open another car dealership in Chicago. Even Pendergast’s detractors fed off his power. During his reign, local boosters were crazy enough to talk about Kansas City becoming a city of one million people, more than double its size. It still felt like the city could turn into something great, following the trajectory of the many jazz musicians who passed through. Basie stuck around for nine years. Kansas City, in his eyes, was “a cracker town but a happy town.

¸ Po mom mišljenju, da su Keplerova i Newtonova otkrića, zbog ne znam kakvih kombinacija, mogla biti obznanjena ljudima jedino tako da se žrtvuje život jednog čovjeka, ili desetero, stotine ili ne znam koliko ljudi, koji su ometali to otkriće ili mu stajali na putu, onda je Newton imao pravo i, štoviše, bio je dužan da ukloni tih desetero ili stotinu ljudi kako bi svoja otkrića mogao obznaniti cijelom čovječanstvu. Odatle, međutin, nipošto ne slijedi da je Newton imao pravo ubijati koga god hoće, svakog tko naiđe, ili krasti svaki dan na tržnici. Zakonodavci i vođe čovječanstva, počev od onih najstarijih pa preko Likurga, Solona, Muhameda, Napoleona i tako dalje, da su svi oni odreda bili zločinci već samim time što su, dajući nov zakon, kršili stari zakon koji je društvo bilo baštinilo od svojih predaka i poštivalo kao svetinju, pa nisu prezali ni od krvi, samo ako im je krv (ponekad posve nedužna i junački proljevena za stari zakon) mogla pomoći. Značajno je, štoviše, da su ti dobrotvori i vođe čovječanstva mahom bili strašni krvoloci. Ukratko, dolazim do zaključka da svi, ne samo veliki ljudi nego i oni koji se koliko-toliko izdižu iznad prosjeka, to jest koji su, štoviše, koliko-toliko sposobni da kažu nešto novo, moraju, po samoj svojoj prirodi, biti svakako zločinci — tko više, tko manje, naravno. Inače im je teško da se izvuku iz kolotečine, a dakako da ne mogu pristati da ostanu u kolotečini, i opet po samoj svojoj prirodi, čak mislim da i ne smiju. Ukratko, vidite da tu i nema zasad ničeg osobito novog. To je već tisuću puta štampano i pročitano. A što se tiče moje podjele ljudi na obične i neobične, slažem se da je ta podjela donekle proizvoljna, ali ja ne inzistiram na točnim ciframa. Ja vjerujem samo u svoju glavnu misao. A to je upravo misao da se ljudi, po prirodnom zakonu, općenito dijele na dvije vrste: na nižu (obične), to jest, da tako kažem, na materijal koji služi jedino razmnožavanju sebi sličnih, i na one prave ljude, to jest one koji imaju dar ili sposobnost da u svojoj sredini izreknu novu riječ. Dakako da ima bezbroj podvrsta, ali se ove dvije osnovne vrste prilično jasno razlikuju: prvu vrstu, to jest materijal, sačinjavaju, općenito govoreći, ljudi koji su po svojoj naravi konzervativni, pristojni, žive u pokornosti i rado se pokoravaju. Oni, po mom mišljenju, i moraju biti pokorni zato što su za to predodređeni, i to ih nimalo ne ponizuje. Oni pak iz druge vrste svi krše zakon, to su rušioci ili su bar skloni rušenju, svaki prema svojim sposobnostima. Zločini su tih ljudi, dakako, relativni i različiti; ponajčešće zahtijevaju, u vrlo raznolikim iskazima, da se sruši ovo današnje u ime nečega boljeg. Ali, ako takav čovjek treba, radi svoje ideje, da prekorači i preko leša, da zagazi u krv, on može sam sebi, u svojoj duši, po mom mišljenju, odobriti takav korak, ovisno doduše o ideji i njenim razmjerima, to valja dobro upamtiti. ....Uostalom, nema pravog razloga za zabrinutost: masa im gotovo nikad ne priznaje to pravo, pogubljuje ih i vješa (manje-više) i tako, posve pravilno, ispunjava svoju konzervativnu misiju, samo što buduća pokoljenja te iste mase uzdižu one pogubljene na pijedestal i klanjaju im se (manje-više). Prva je vrsta svagda gospodar današnjice, a druga vrsta gospodar sutrašnjice. Oni prvi održavaju svijet i brojčano ga produžuju, a drugi ga pokreću i vode prema cilju.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
When the Good Lord was creating Patrick Mahomes. "He was into His sixth day of "overtime." "When a angel appeared and said. "You're doing a lot of messing around on this one." "And the lord said. "Have you read the specs on this one he has to Have 180 moveable parts...all replaceable. Run on water And six pairs of hands." The angel shook his head and said."Six pairs of hands.... no way." "And the lord said. It's not the hands that are causing me problems," "it's the three pairs of eyes that he has to have. One pair that sees through the defense, one in the back of his head that sees what coming after him, and of course the ones here in front that can look for the end zone. "And the lord said, "I'm so close to creating something so close to myself.

If Mahomed had taken bromide for his nerves, had worked only two hours out of the twenty-four, and had drunk milk, that remarkable man would have left no more trace after him than his dog.
