celine (Robert Fullmer):
I've read both Putnam's "The Meaning of Meaning" and Fred Dretske's
"Knowledge and the Flow of Information". How does this affect my
behavior? Following Putnam's advice on meaning, whenever Dretske uses
the word 'information', I laugh.

ehahn (Edward C Hahn):
So you think that your life has become a catastrophe?
Oh, it has to be,
For you to go, boy.
When you look through the years and see what you could have been.
Oh what you might have been,
If you had had more time.
So when the day comes to settle down,
Who's to blame if you're not around?
Take the long way home...
Take the long way home...

fallas (Evelyn F Smith):
I plan to love William Christopher Dagnon--what a wonderful name!--for
as long as God gifts me with his presence and caring. I love him so very much
and want to shield him from all harm and to keep him happy forever. I thank
the Lord every day, every hour, every breath I take, for my Gentlesweet-poet-
musician-singer-tall-tender-grey-swirling-glasses-chuckling-softspoken-beloved.
God be with you, whoever is looking at my "Plan." And Jesus Christ His Son
guide you so that you, too, will know as much joy as I do right now. &:D

pwkan (paul wh kan):
If it were only for vocabulary, the scholar would be covetous of
action. Life is our dictionary. Years are well spent. . .to the
end of mastering in all their facts a language by which to illustrate
and embody our perceptions. I learn immediately from any speaker
how much he has already lived, through the poverty or the splendor
of his speech. Life lies behind us as the quary from whence we get
tiles and copestones for the masonry of today. This is the way to
learn grammar. Colleges and books only copy the language which the
field and the work-yard made.
--R.W. Emerson, "The American Scholar"
Where works of art are rare, rarity itself is a value; it is only when
they are common . . . that one can learn their intrinsic worth.
--Goethe, as cited in TNR 25 Jun 90, pg35

sethg (Seth A. Gordon):
Why do computer programmers make such lousy lovers?
Because each time, they try to do it faster, and when they succeed, they
think their performance has improved.

therese (Suntioinen Therese M.):
All the still point of destruction
At the centre of the fury
All the angels all the devils
All around us can't you see
There is a deeper wave than this
Rising in the land
There is a deeper wave than this
Nothing will withstand...
