Overview

Have you ever suspected that behind the screen smoke of normality the dead weight of tradition may be distorting our perceptions? Or that the God-given certainty may be just clerically inspired extremism. Aren't we too quick to conform to rules created by loud, self- assertive people? Unearthing Common Sense through Uncommon Quotes aims to turn hindsight into foresight by including thoughts from some famous, some notorious and some almost forgotten, despite their brilliance, individuals. Albert Einstein, Charles Darwin, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Leonardo da Vinci are only few of the many names in the first category, while Imelda Marcos and Kaiser Wilhelm II are the most prominent members of the second club. Robert Ingersoll, the Great Agnostic and probably the greatest American orator, is hardly ever mentioned in our days for reasons, which are becoming increasingly clear. Some of the included quotes are funny, some are inspirational and some are highlighting absurdities which seem perpetual, but all of them possess mind and spirit stirring capacity.

Author Information

Born and raised in a small village (with tiny library) in Bulgaria, Jordan Lambev obtained his Law degree from the University of Sofia, Bulgaria in 2000. In the same year he came to the United States of America as a green card holder. In America information engulfed him and the problem was/is winnowing the chaff from the grain. Jordan admits he wolfed a lot of nothing before tasting something real. He considers that reading is like breathing - varied results could be obtained depending on what is inhaled. He attempts to be a circumspect reader and he refuses to be rushed into forming an opinion. Jordan prefers to be a practical observer than a hyper participant, but doesn't see virginity necessarily as a virtue.
