I wrote a book to encourage creativity in kids...think "the Just so Stories by Rudyard Kipling meets Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S". It encourages though the narrative of a cuttlefish that helps a young women discover the potential of her imagination as she explores the past, present, future, life, and death to find a new new sense of magic in a world that can feel mundane.

Pascal illuminates the substantial differences between the early church and the Church of today. Formerly, it was necessary to forsake the world in order to be received into the Church, while people now enter the Church at the same time as they enter the world. There was thus an essential distinction between the world and the Church, the two being considered as two opposites.

Plutarco, vissuto nel I secolo d.C., scrisse alcune brevi opere di estremo interesse e più che mai attuali, denominate "Moralia". Ne fa parte il "De esu carnium - Del mangiar carne", una sorta di "manifesto" contro l'usanza dell'epoca di mangiare carne. In questa breve opera, che ci è giunta incompiuta, l'autore dimostra il suo profondo amore per gli animali ed esprime con veemenza e con motivazioni del tutto logiche il suo disgusto e il suo disprezzo per gli uomini che si cibano di carne.

Palermo. Un'estate caldissima. E tre poliziotti che più diversi non si potrebbe: il questore Lobianco, severo e forte, Rosario D'Alessandro detto Sasà - amante del cibo e delle donne, affetto da un curioso disturbo della lacrimazione che fa sì che pianga quando si eccita - e Marò Pajno, affascinante e volitiva, relegata in un noioso commissariato di quartiere. I tre sono uniti sin dai primi anni di servizio da un'amicizia più forte di tutto. Tanto che Marò, attratta da entrambi, ha finito per non concedersi a nessuno dei due.

Anybody can succeed in sales, and better yet, everybody will find more success by being themselves.
