Every stroke against stupidity is a formidable idea to undermine the indifferent fort of human ignorance.
Carl William Brown
“…écrire un roman ou en vivre un, n’est pas du tout la même chose, quoi qu’on dise. Et pourtant notre vie n’est pas séparée de nos oeuvres”.
Marcel Proust
“Fair is foul, and foul is fair: Hover through the fog and filthy air”, chant the Weird Sisters as they go to wait for the battle to be over so they can deliver their seductive prophesies to Macbeth. “So foul and fair a day really I have not ever seen”
Carl William Brown.
Absolutely, I am certainly not against religion in itself, but for sure I fight versus the obtuseness, the stupidity, the imbecility, the mediocrity, the authority, the power, the meanness, the avidity, the conformism, the fear; the obedience; the egoism; the intellectual and human poverty of some stupid religious men!
Carl William Brown The Literary Revenger
You should be the change you would like for the world.
Mahatma Gandhi
The Church says the Earth is flat, but I know it is round, because I saw its shadow on the Moon, and I trust more a shade than the Church itself..
Ferdinando Magellano
This not the story of a young officer, Giovanni Drogo , and the time that he spent guarding the Bastiani Fortress, an old, unmaintained border fortress, waiting for an enemy who will never come! This the story of a group of warriors, guided by an alive dead spirit, who are trying to organize an attack toward an everlasting, ubiquitous and invincibile enemy! This is not the Desert of the Tartars, this is Fort Attack!
Carl William Brown
We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.
Benjamin Franklin
The happiness of society is the end of government.
John Adams
This not the story of Six Characters in Search of an Author, this is the mysterious plot of an author who is humorously meditating on billions of fools and about the strange and wicked powers that control and govern them.
Carl William Brown
Strong minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, weak minds discuss people.
Socrates
For all those who want to improve our planet but don’t know how and where to start with, let’s begin struggling against stupidity; it’s easy, be confident and remember first of all that we are what we do, so if we don’t struggle, we are evidently supporters of the incredible queen of the universe. So don’t worry, don’t be afraid, think it over and join us, if you can, and if you want.
Carl William Brown

Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe.
Albert Einstein
Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Albert Einstein
I can calculate the movement of stars, but not the madness of men.
Isaac Newton
All great deeds and all great thoughts have a ridiculous beginning.
Albert Camus
Our strategy should be not only to confront empire, but to lay siege to it. To deprive it of oxygen. To shame it. To mock it. With our art, our music, our literature, our stubbornness, our joy, our brilliance, our sheer relentlessness — and our ability to tell our own stories. Stories that are different from the ones we’re being brainwashed to believe.
The corporate revolution will collapse if we refuse to buy what they are selling — their ideas, their version of history, their wars, their weapons, their notion of inevitability.
Remember this: We be many and they be few. They need us more than we need them.
Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing.

Banking in the modern sense of the word can be traced to medieval and early Renaissance Italy, to the rich cities in the north like Florence, Venice and Genoa. The Bardi and Peruzzi families dominated banking in 14th century Florence, establishing branches in many other parts of Europe. Perhaps the most famous Italian bank was the Medici bank, set up by Giovanni Medici in 1397. Now, at this point of the matter, you must also consider and remember that the Medici used to spend their Holidays at Seravezza, a small village close to the Apuan Alps belonging to the Province of Lucca, in northern Tuscany, Italy. It is located in Versilia, above Forte dei Marmi.
