Another one for Zen and the Boydz
[ by Charles Cameron ]
Okay, the Reagan Roundtable is happening, and I hope to contribute to it later. In the meantime, I don’t want to disrupt the flow at ChicagoBoyz, so I’ll continue posting my non-Reagan material here — since here at ZP we’re excerpting and hollering and supporting but not actually hosting the Roundtable, and since Egypt, after all, is not waiting for the Roundtable to be over before continuing on its path of discovery…
Having said which:

I’m not the only one who’s eye is caught by DoubleQuotes, I see.
I ran across this one at the top of a piece by Esam al-Amin on CounterPunch entitled Mubarak’s Last Gasps, where al-Amin had made it his double epigraph — and even though I’m almost totally ignorant of the writings of Vladimir Ilyich and hope to keep things that way, I do think Quote #1 is quite a fine aphorism.
And having recently posted One for Zen and the Boydz here (remember that?), I really couldn’t resist this follow-up!
Very apt for the last few weeks.
Mind you, I think there’s an apocalyptic hint to Quote #2, which bears an interesting resemblance to Matthew 24:13:
But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
