“We do not exist in the majority of these times; in some you exist, and not I; in others I, and not you; in others, both of us. In the present one, which a favorable fate has granted me, you have arrived at my house; in another, while crossing the garden, you found me dead; in still another, I utter these same words, but I am a mistake, a ghost.”
— Jorge Luis Borges, The Garden of Forking Paths

22 ancient amphoras found off Albanian coast
TIRANA, Albania (AP) — A joint Albanian-American underwater archaeology project says it has found amphoras that are at least 2,500 years old in the Ionian Sea off the Albanian coast, which might yield an ancient shipwreck.
The research vessel Hercules of the RPM Nautical Foundation said Friday they had found 22 amphoras — a two-handled jar with a narrow neck used for wine or oil — 40-60 meters (yards) deep scattered around the seabed close to a rocky shores near the Karaburun peninsula.
Archaeologist Mateusz Polakowski said they believe the Corinthian A type amphoras date to between the 7th and the 5th century B.C. Read more.

“He who strives, only because of an affect, that others should love what he loves, and live according to his temperament, acts only from impulse and is hateful - especially to those to whom other things are pleasing, and who also, therefore, strive eagerly, from the same impulse, to have other men live according to their own temperament. And since the greatest good men seek from an affect is often such that only one can possess it fully, those who love are not of one mind in their love - while they rejoice to sing the praises of the thing they love, they fear to be believed.”
— Baruch Spinoza, Ethics, IVP39S, trans. Edwin Curley

“It is told that once Ananda, the beloved disciple of Buddha, saluted his master and said: ‘Half the holy life, O master, is friendship with the beautiful, association with the beautiful, communion with the beautiful’. ‘Say not so, Ananda, say not so!’ the master replied. ‘It is not half of the holy life. It is the whole of the holy life.’”
— Samyutta Nikaya

“Ressentiment said ‘it is your fault’, bad conscience says ‘it is my fault’. But ressentiment is really only appeased when its contagion is spread. Its aim is for the whole of life to become reactive, for those in good health to become sick. It is not enough for it to accuse, the accused must feel guilty. It is in bad conscience that ressentiment comes into its own and reaches the summit of its contagious power: by changing direction. It cries ‘It is my fault, it is my fault’ until the whole world takes up this dreary refrain, until everything active in life develops the same feeling of guilt.”
— Gilles Deleuze
