Today's quote:
From one of my favorite Hungarian poems, a timely quote in times of war:
"and on my way to school, by the kerbside to postpone
a spot-test one certain morning, I stepped upon a stone:
look! there's the stone whose magic the pilot cannot see,
no instrument would merge it in his topography."
-- Miklos Radnoti, written in 1944 a few months before his death

The full poem is here:
