Search the Garden

Jorge Luis Borges

  • "Under the trees of England I meditated on this lost and perhaps mythical labyrinth. I imagined it untouched and perfect on the secret summit of some mountain; I imagined it drowned under rice paddies or beneath the sea; I imagined it infinite, made not only of eight-sided pavilions and of twisting paths but also of rivers, provinces and kingdoms. I thought of a maze of mazes, of a sinuous, ever growing maze which would take in both past and future and would somehow involve the stars."

Taking Responsibility

The Thursday, April 15, 2004 USA Today (who says I'm not a historian of philosophy?) has a wonderful article on the Donald Trump TV program, "The Apprentice." I noted this especially, "In general, contestants have been encouraged to go after each other; it's good for ratings. As losing project managers were hauled before The Donald with subordinates, the best hide-saving strategy was to blame someone else. In one telling boardroom session, Kristi Frank made a fatal mistake. She accepted responsibilty for her actions."
