The Wisdom of Professor Seagull
"It is the duty of the bohemian to make a spectacle of himself. If my informality leads you to believe that I am a rum-dumb or that I belong in Bellevue, then hold fast to that belief; hold fast, and show your ignorance."
Joseph Ferdinand Gould (1889-1957)
Cold War Reenactors
"We rely upon the good will of our fellow man - and the forbearance of reptiles."
"I don't make hell for nobody. I'm only the instrument of a laughing providence. Sometimes I don't like it myself, but I couldn't help it if I was born smart."
1st Sgt. Milton Anthony Warden. "From here to Eternity"
Paul Valery
"You are in love with intelligence, until it frightens you. For your ideas are terrifying and your hearts are faint. Your acts of pity and cruelty are absurd, committed with no calm, as if they were irresistible. Finally, you fear blood more and more. Blood and time."
The Wisdom of the Ages
"When a young man, I read somewhere the following: God the Almighty said, 'All that is too complex is unnecessary, and it is simple that is needed',"
Just found this. A parade of Polish (?) armored cars as well as several of the Renault FT-17 tanks. Just one Garford though. But isn't she sleek? She's about a mover.
You're right, that are first Polish armoured vehicles, filmed in 1922. Some photos of Garford-Putilov: http://www.weu1918-1939.pl/pancerne/samochody_pancerne/garford/dowodztwo_pancerne_samochody_garford.html
