In Christianity neither morality nor religion come into contact with reality at any point. Faith: not *wanting* to know what is true. When in doubt, use brute force. Maybe I should have screwed up. SCCS is the source-code motel -- your code checks in but it never checks out. I know nothing. Suburbia is where the developer bulldozes out the trees, then names the streets after them. Just think -- IBM and DEC in the same room -- and we did it. Makes you feel warm inside. If you want to go somewhere, goto is the best way to get there. Oh, the tangled webs we weave When we practice to deceive. In this world of sin and sorrow, there is always something to be thankful for; as for me, I rejoice that I am not a Republican. If language is not correct, then what is said is not what is meant; if what is said is not what is meant, then what must be done remains undone; if this remains undone, morals and art will deteriorate; if justice goes astray, the people will stand about in helpless confusion. Hence there must be no arbitrariness in what is said. This matters above everything. Anyone who has got a book collection and a garden wants for nothing. I think there are innumerable gods. What we here on earth call God is a little tribal God who has made an awful mess. Certainly forces operating trough human conciousness control events. God is the immemorial refuge of the incompetent, thehelpless, the miserable. They find not only sanctuary in His arms, but also a kind of superiority, soothing to their macerated egos; He will set them above their betters. Trapped, like a trap in a trap. The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings. The inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of misery. Gratitude is merely the secret hope of further favors. The two most evangelical groups in the world are atheists and vegetarians, especially the least knowledgeable and least intelligent individuals within those groups. Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger. May you never know hunger The peasants of the Asturias believe that in every litter of wolves there is one pup that is killed by the mother for fear that on growing up it would devour the other little ones. Truth is more of a stranger than fiction. Truth is beautiful, without doubt; but so are lies. If a cluttered desk signs a cluttered mind, Of what, then, is an empty desk a sign? A mind forever voyaging through strange seas of thought, alone. Ignorance is king, many would not prosper by its abdication. A cult is a religion with no political power. All Bibles are man-made. To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded. To be conservative at 20 is heartless and to be a liberal at 60 is plain idiocy. Thought: why does man kill? He kills for food. And not only for food: frequently there must be a beverage. On the plus side, death is one of the few things that can be done as easily lying down. A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A DOE Doing abominations is against the law, particularly if the abominations are done while wearing a lobster bib. Whosoever shall not fall by the sword or by famine, shall fall by pestilence so why bother shaving? Is it better to be the lover or the loved one? Neither, if your cholesterol is over six hundred. By love, of course, I refer to romantic love -- the love between man and woman, rather than between mother and child, or a boy and his dog, or two headwaiters. I never did give them hell. I just told the truth, and they thought it was hell. Internet is so big, so powerful and pointless that for some people it is a complete substitute for life. The universe is made of stories, not atoms. ...in the lexicon of the political class, the word "sacrifice" means that the citizens are supposed to mail even more of their income to Washington so that the political class will not have to sacrifice the pleasure of spending it. The society which scorns excellence in plumbing as a humble activity and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because it is an exalted activity will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy...neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water. Many, if not all, of my presidential opponents are certifiable idiots. Half of the American people never read a newspaper. Half never voted for President. One hopes it is the same half. Your food stamps will be stopped effective March, 1992, because we received notice that you passed away. May God bless you. You may reapply if there is a change in your circumstances. We believe he wanted to win in the worst way. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians. Would you please shut up and sit down! He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable patriotism, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder. The best way to predict the future is to invent it. |
