replaced


"There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
There is another which states that this has already happened."

Douglas Adams, "The Hitchhiker's
Guide to the Galaxy"

universe

The viible universe was an illusion or , more precisely , a sophism.
Mirrors and fatherhood are abominable because they multiply it and extend it .

Jorge Luis Borges

multiply

"Noah must have taken into the Ark two taxes, one male and one female. And did they multiply bountifully! Next to guinea pigs, taxes must have been the most prolific animals."
Will Rogers

animals


Drinking when we are not thirsty and making love all year round, madam; that is all there is to distinguish us from other animals.

Pierre-Augustin Caron De Beaumarchais

Drinking

I think it must be so , for I have been drinking it for sixty-five years and I am not dead yet .

Voltaire (Francois-Marie Arouet)

what's new pussycat? can you dig the satisfaction?
well, you can't take it with you but you
can in overdrive

Oh poor twisted me
Oh poor twisted me
I feast on sympathy
I chew on suffer
I chew on agony

~ Metallica

agony

Our civilization is founded on the shambles, and every individual existence goes out in a lonely spasm of helpless agony .

William James

individual


One who breaks an unjust law must do so openly, lovingly, and with a willingness to accept the penalty. I submit that an individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for law.

MLK Jr. Letter From Birmingham Jail, April 16, 1963

injustice

...use throught only to justify their injustice , and speech only to conceal their thoughts ,

Voltarie

thoughts



The aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think, than what to think - rather to improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for ourselves, than to load the memory with the thoughts of other men.

Bill Beattie

Rather
"All things considered I would rather be in Philadelphia"
-W.C. Fields (his epitaph)

Would

Then , my lord , be his blood on your own conscience . You might have saved him if you would . I dare not .

Charles II
