The simple songs are the best “ I cannot understand the notion of banality. So many people spend so much time protecting themselves from the ordinary and the worn that it seems as if half the world runs on a defensive principle that robs it of the tested and true. But if the truth is common, must it be rejected? If the ordinary is beautiful, must it be scorned? They needn't be, and are not, by those who are free enough to see anew. The human soul itself is quite ordinary, existing by the billion, and on a crowded street you pass souls thousands times a minute. And yet within the soul is a graceful shining song more wonderful than the stunning cathedrals that stand over the countryside unique and alone. The simple songs are the best. They last into time as inviolable as the light. ” — Mark Helprin, Memoir from an Antproof Case (1995) Admin transparency See the log of blocks, deletions, page protections, moves, and uploads performed by me as an administrator: Jossi (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA) In the English Wikipedia In Commons See the results of my Adminship nomination Format blatantly copied from user:Bishonen Wikipedian pride My first contribution to Wikipedia was made on April 16, 2004 and my 35,000th contribution was performed on or about February, 2007, and as of that date I was 112th on the list of Wikipedians by number of edits.
