| Bio: | I'm just a liberal-arts student on his way to graduation, and then to the life unknown.
I'm like the boy next door on intellectual crack.
"We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful what we pretend to be." ~ Kurt Vonnegut
"How useless is a decent education." ~ Aristophanes
"Honesty is praised and starves." ~ Juvenal
"The universe seems to be in a conspiracy to encourage the endless reproduction of lodge-joiners and Socialists, but a subtle and mysterious opposition stands eternally against the reproduction of philosophers." ~ H.L. Mencken
"Even there, in the mines, underground, I may find a human heart in another convict and murderer by my side, and I may make friends with him, for even there one may live and love and suffer. One may thaw and revive a frozen heart in that convict, one may wait upon him for years, and at last bring up from the dark depths a lofty soul, a feeling, suffering creature; one may bring forth an angel, create a hero! There are so many of them, hundreds of them, and we are to blame for them." ~ Fyodor Dostoevsky
"If you work at that which is before you, following right reason seriously, vigorously, calmly, without allowing anything else to distract you, but keeping your divine part pure, as if you were bound to give it back immediately; if you hold to this, expecting nothing, but satisfied to live now according to nature, speaking heroic truth in every word which you utter, you will live happy. And there is no man able to prevent this." ~ Marcus Aurelius |
