That study which had late become my home
Was mostly peaceful, counting out those times
She visited to chide me: "In what tome
Can you descry life's secrets most sublime?
What of the nature of reality
Will come to light these nights you scrutinize
A copy of a poor facsimile
Of what out there -- inside us -- truly lies?
These books were once a forest, under which
You dwelt on characters more ably drawn;
If this their home must be as dark as pitch,
Still you can venture out beneath the dawn.
But be no longer burdened by their heft:
It is but words." She spoke these words and left.

These people are not your friends	Maybe is a pussy answer	You say you want to help me	156/98
Actions speak louder than words	Put up or shut up	March 15, 2006	November 29, 2004
M-129 Propaganda Bomb	WAIAMQWIITIOJDTRT?	attention economy	The majority of X support Y
If you really mean it, set yourself on fire	Jesus undoubtedly said this or something very like it	You aren't a nice guy; you're a hairy jellyfish	August 22, 2004
You have to watch out for the quiet ones	Brad, what if I told you I belonged to a network of freedom fighters?	It's never too soon to start lying to your kids about drugs	Act as if you are in a dream; be daring and don't apologize
Never give an order you know will not be obeyed	You're so funny I think I'll kick your ass	The problem with people who think life is inexpressibly beautiful is that they so often try to express it anyway	put your money where your mouth is
