Unearthing Common Sense Through Uncommon Quotes: ( Picking the Minds of Some Great and Some Not So Great Individuals) Jordan Lambev 1. izdevums

Have you ever suspected that behind the screen smoke of normality the dead weight of tradition may be distorting our perceptions? Or that the God-given certainty may be just clerically inspired extremism. Aren?t we too quick to conform to rules created by loud, self- assertive people? Unearthing Common Sense through Uncommon Quotes aims to turn hindsight into foresight by including thoughts from some famous, some notorious and some almost forgotten, despite their brilliance, individuals. Albert Einstein, Charles Darwin, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Leonardo da Vinci are only few of the many names in the first category, while Adolf Hitler, Adolf Eichmann, Hermann Goering, Saddam Hussein are the most prominent members of the second club. Robert Ingersoll, the Great Agnostic and probably the greatest American orator, is hardly ever mentioned in our days for reasons, which are becoming increasingly clear. Some of the included quotes are funny, some are inspirational and some are highlighting absurdities which seem perpetual, but all of them possess mind and spirit stirring capacity.
