I sat to install the new machine and in between started reading “Black Box” by Amos Oz.

I read it in one sitting. Wonderful book, written as letters and telegrams sent between the people in it (and for a while – the notes of one of them). I think that everyone can find in it the good and bad people for himself, the author has left this for us to decide.

And I just can’t miss to quote one of the notes (there are some that are as good, but this made the biggest impression on me):

”
185. Faith, coming from the lack of faith: as much as the faith in oneself is demolished, as much the intoxicating faith in the salvation becomes strong and the desperate need to be save grows. The savior is that much great, as you’re small, insignificant and unworthy. Anri Begrson writes: “It’s not true that faith can move mountains. On the contrary, the main thing in faith is the ability not to notice anything, even the moving of the mountain in front of you. It’s like a hermetic screen, fully impregnable to the facts.”
”
(there’s one better, but too long for me to type it :) ).

And the new machine needs a spell checker and other stuff to be set up, but that will be left for tomorrow evening, some sleep is required.
