By some coincidence I just did the pilgrimage hike to the monastery where the Hagia Marina story took place. Ran into only one group of pilgrims, on of whom shouted, in English, “I follow you on Twitter” !

From a long experience in paremiology, I can safely say that the aphorists impossible to imitate are: + Yogi Berra + Mutanabbi + Publilius Syrus Berra is the most unique, by far: “In academia there is no difference between academia & the real world; in the real world, there is”. Sorry, mistake, this was my “Yogiberrism”, an adaptation of one of his sayings. Berra said “In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.” 3) My Yogiberrism: “Don’t read a book you wouldn’t reread”. I blocked half the people who replied as I find those who can’t get aphorisms more annoying than #BTC trolls.
That’s convex!
The thinker most vindicated by #Afghanistan is Edmund Burke: change that’s not progressive, slow, & pragmatic ends up blowing up (Reflections on the Revltion in France). Bureaucrato-utopistas IYI tried to jump from the middle ages to modernity, burkas to gender studies in 1 go.
YOGI BERRA What I find in YB is paradoxes you almost never find elsewhere: “No one goes there nowadays, it’s too crowded” “I go to pple’s funerals so they go to mine” “It gets late early out here” “I never said most of the things I said” “If the world were perfect it wouldn’t be”

Sometimes it is not just the best response; it’s the only response.
Never heard that name before.
