I haven’t read them all,
but I sure have read a few,
Socrates and Plato,
Nargajuna and Descartes,
Mill, Hume and Whitehead
not forgetting Marx,
and my, Zizek’s such fun,
they stir the moribund mind
though a little less than poets do
because Rumi stirs my soul,
but I’d rather learn you
than read all the libraries that are
because my, you stir my heart.

This site is a hommage to Pierre Joubert, one of the greatest illustrators ever lived. He was born in Paris (june 27, 1910 and died in La Rochelle on January 13, 2002). On Wikipedia is suggested that (quote): ¨He had a controversial site. He has been tarred with collaboration with the Nazis during Worldwar II¨. Documents, however, have proved that this is not true. Intimi have confirmed that.

if you enjoyed his then try Shantideva too, IMHO the eastern philosophers outshine the western by far … and Rumi is the best poet 🙂

such a vivid image of a soul being stirred just flashed into my head. like stirring a spoon of chocolate into a glass of milk, only the chocolate is a transparent rainbow and the milk is bright yellow-white light…
