Quote of the day

Now I feel and I say all the time that vanity is, like, long gone. I'm really free of worrying about what I look like, because it's out of my shaky hands. I don't control it. So why would I waste one second of my life worrying about it?

The clash of civilizations will dominate global politics. The fault lines between civilizations will be the battle lines of the future.
