People who think that grammar is just a collection of rules and restrictions are wrong.

It is difficult to generalize about Islam. To begin with, the word itself is commonly used with two related but distinct meanings, as the equivalents both of Christianity, and Christendom. In the one sense, it denotes a religion, as system of beliefs and worship; in the other, the civilization that grew up and flourished under the aegis of that religion. The word Islam thus denotes more than fourteen centuries of history, a billion and a third people, and a religious and cultural tradition of enormous diversity.
Bernard Lewis

Not all that is presented to us as history has really happened; and what really happened did not actually happen the way it is presented to us; moreover, what really happened is only a small part of all that happened.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

In the digital universe, our personal history and its sense of narrative is succeeded by our social networking profile - a snapshot of the current moment.

Douglas Rushkoff
-
I can't change history, I don't want to change history. I can only change the future. I'm working on that.
