Note to Self
Had dream about scary squirrels we tried to appease with glittery hot dog bits. Realized I haven’t seen Avengers yet, subconscious is angry.
WHEN A WRITER IS UPSET ABOUT NEGATIVE COMMENTS ON A PIECE
A map of woman’s heart from the 1800s, equal parts amusing and appalling.
Yikes.
Einstein once wrote a letter to Gandhi, and this is it.
“Respected Mr. Gandhi
I use the presence of your friend in our home to send you these lines. You have shown through your works, that it is possible to succeed without violence even with those who have not discarded the method of violence. We may hope that your example will spread beyond the borders of your country, and will help to establish an international authority, respected by all, that will take decisions and replace war conflicts.
With sincere admiration,
Yours
(Signed, ‘A. Einstein’)
I hope that I will be able to meet you face to face some day.
Gandhi’s response
LONDON, October 18, 1931
DEAR FRIEND,
I was delighted to have your beautiful letter sent through Sundaram. It is a great consolation to me that the work I am doing finds favour in your sight. I do indeed wish that we could meet face to face and that too in India at my Ashram.
Yours sincerely,
(Signed, ‘M. K. Gandhi’)”
