STUNNING QUOTES

From today, I will be posting some of what I will regard as 'stunning' quotes from all over the world, based on online news that I have read on each particular day. obviously, most of the quotes will be from Malawi news. While in some instances the source will be disclosed and a link provided, some will require readers to comment where that quote has originated from. This will in a way give me feedback that atleast someone has read a particular quote, apart from that the blog also registers no of viewers. Just to put you into perspective, below is what will be happenning

“It really is my opinion that the media, in general, are so bad, we have to question whether the world would be better off without them altogether,” WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange read the story here

explaining the long absence

I have been quiet for sometime and loads have taken place as normally expected ranging from work, relations and families etc. Most notably the loss of my uncle, who was a father and mother to me, and i just mean that. He passed on on 21st March 2011 and was laid to rest on the 23rd. Memories are still very very fresh as he was a people and village person, indeed Karonga-ers and indeed Malawians have lost, but my hope lies in that its the heaven that has gained. RIP till we meet again soon! I still love u uncle Wyson, you were my mentor, u inspired, u made me the person I am to day, u loved me. May God alone take care of your lovely family. Loraine, loving niece
