From the shelf

Nothing in the canon is tethered to August 23. One line is set aside for this year, the same line for every reader.

Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.
Elie WieselNobel lecture · 1986

In 2009 this day opens on The Qur’an.

Arrow keys turn the day. S keeps the line. Slash focuses search.
