bloodshed."

"Artificial Intelligence: the art of making computers that behave like the
ones in movies" -- Bill Bulko
"And computers are getting smarter all the time: scientists tell us that
soon they will be able to talk to us. (By `they' I mean `computers': I
doubt scientists will ever be able to talk to us.)" -Dave Barry

Men of measured merriment! Men of measured merriment! Damn the great
executives, the men of measured merriment, damn the men with careful
smiles, damn the men that run the shops, oh damn their measured
merriment, the men with measured merriment, oh, damn their measured
merriment, and DAMN their careful smiles!
- Sinclair Lewis, _Arrowsmith_
There's only one thing that I know how to do well
and I've often been told you only can do what you know how to do well
and that's be you, be what you're like
be like yourself
and so I'm having a wonderful time but I'd rather be whistling in the dark.
whistling in the dark, whistling in the dark, whistling in the dark

Seek the purity of perfection, not the perfection of purity.

From the "statements that sound like parodies, but truth is stranger
than fiction" file:
"Public rape also encompasses a recent review in _The Nation_ of a
scholarly book arguing against pornography. The review opens with a
rape of the author, in this case, me."

therese (Therese):
Despair is the absolute extreme of self-love. it is reached when
a man deliberately turns his back on all help from anyone else
in order to taste the rotten luxury of knowing himself to be lost.
...But a man who is truly humble cannot despair, because in the humble
man there is no longer any such thing as self-pity.
- Thomas Merton
