Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.

~ Paulo Coelho, Eleven Minutes Category: Urban Tales On August 29, 1944, the Slovak National Uprising started and the German army immediately began occupying Slovakia to put down the rebellion. The Dukla operation, which had originally been planned to coincide with the Uprising, began on September 9 in Poland and by early October the Soviet Red Army and Czechoslovak brigades had reached the Slovak border. Days later, on October 6, the Soviet and Czechoslovak brigades launched an attack over the border into Czechoslovakia. The largest tank battle on Czechoslovak soil took place here on 25th – 28th October 1944, in a place now also known as the Death Valley. The battle, now commemorated with a large memorial at the Dukla Pass, was a slow and deadly grind. More than 100,000 soldiers died, and many are still buried in the area. The Dukla memorial alone holds some 8,000 graves. A cemetery in nearby Hunkovce holds the bodies of around 2,000 German soldiers. Category: Diary
Only enemies speak the truth; friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty.
~ Stephen King Category: Urban Tales It is better to have your head in the clouds, and know where you are... than to breathe the clearer atmosphere below them, and think that you are in paradise.
~ Henry David Thoreau Category: Urban Tales When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.
~ Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning Category: Wings And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.
~ Friedrich Nietzsche Category: People Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end We'd sing and dance forever and a day We'd live the life we choose We'd fight and never lose For we were young and sure to have our way. Mary Hopkin, Gene Raskin, Those were the days Category: Urban Tales I no longer believed in the idea of soul mates, or love at first sight. But I was beginning to believe that a very few times in your life, if you were lucky, you might meet someone who was exactly right for you. Not because he was perfect, or because you were, but because your combined flaws were arranged in a way that allowed two separate beings to hinge together.
