caesar (Lorin R Jurow):
To find out what I did in a previous life to deserve to come back as a
nerdy pseudo-intellectual Computer Science major at MIT.
"Jesus Saves Sinners and Redeems them (for valuable cash prizes)"
It is impossible to make anything foolproof, because fools are so ingenious
By the way, If you happened to find my keys lying on the fields in between
Amherst Alley and Vassar Street - PLEASE email me.

To be true to one's self is the ultimate test in life.
To have the courage and the sensitivity to follow your hidden dreams
and stand tall against the odds that are bound to fall in your path.
Life is too short and precious to be dealt with in any other fashion.
This thought I hold dear to my heart and I always try to be true to
myself and others that I encounter along the way.

quintero (Carlos Quintero):
BORGES AND I
Things happen to him, the other one, to Borges. I stroll about Buenos Aires and stop, almost mechanically now perhaps, to look at the arch of an entranceway and the ironwork gate; news of Borges reaches me in the mail and I see his name on an academic ballot or in a biographical dictionary. I like hourglasses, maps, eighteen-century typography, etymologies, the taste of coffee, and Robert Louis Stevenson's prose; he shares these preferences, but with a vanity that turns them into the attributes of an actor. It would be an exaggeration to say that our relationship is a hostile one; I live, I go on living, so that Borges may contrive his literature; and that literature justifies me. I do not find it hard to admit that he has achieved some valid pages, but these pages can not save me, perhaps because what is good no longer belongs to anyone, not even to him, the other one, but to the language or to tradition. In any case, I am destined to perish, definitively, and only some in!
statn of me may live on in him. Li
ttle by little, I yield him ground, the whole terrain, though I am quite aware of his perverse habit of magnifying and falsifying. Spinoza realized that all things strive to persist in their own nature: the stone eternally wishes to be stone and the tiger a tiger. I shall subsist in Borges, not in myself (assuming I am someone), and yet I recognize myself less in his books than in many another, or that in the intricate flourishes played on a guitar. Years ago I tried to free myself from him, and I went from the mythologies of the city suburbs to games with tiem and infinity, but now those games belong to Borges, and I will have to think up something else. Thus is my life a flight, and I lose everything, and everything belongs to oblivion, or to him.
I don't know which of the two of us is writing this page.
-Jorge Luis Borges."

A LEGEND IN HIS OWN TIME...
Not only is Lou Zocchi immortalized as a river in Avalon Hill's
Blitzkrieg, he often appears as a monster in Flying Buffalo's
conputerized T&T dungeons....
