Movies I like
Books that moved me
J.R.R. Tolkien - The Lord of the Rings exhausting to read. C.S. Lewis - The Chronicles of Narnia a bit like Lord of the Rings without all the walking. Stephen King - The Dark Tower Imagine Clint Eastwood running around in the Lord of the Rings. George Orwell - 1984, Politics and the English Language Former very depressing. Latter very interesting - it was written in 1946, had it been named 1964, people would say Orwell predicted the Vietnam war. Clive Barker - Weaveworld Epic.
Charles Causley - Innocence and Experience Awe inspiring.
Thomas Keneally - Schindler's List Based on the true story of a magnificent man. C. Ivlivs Caesar - Commentarii de bello Gallico, Commentarii de bello Civili Julius Caesar's commentaries of the wars in Gaul and the Roman Civil war. Sun Tzu - The Art of War Very influential book and a good read too. Miyamoto Musashi - Go Rin No Sho The book of 5 Rings by a legendary samurai
"Alea Iacta Est" - C.Ivlivs Caesar [The Die is Cast]
"Right, as the world goes, is only in question between equals in power,
while the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must." - Thucydides
"For how men to whose rapacity neither sea nor mountain nor
uninhabitable desert sets a limit, men to whose inordinate desires the
boundaries which separate Europe and Asia put no stop, can remain
content with what they have and do one another no wrong when they are in
close touch, it is impossible to say. Nay, they are perpetually at war,
because plots and jealousies are parts of their natures, and they treat
the two words, war and peace, like current coins, using whichever
happens to be for their advantage, regardless of justice [...]" - Pyrrhos of Epeiros
