About Me



Here some of my favorite quotes:
"Just one more...and I'll walk away
all the everything you win turns to nothing today
so just one more, just one more go
inspire in me the desire in me...to never go home"

- homesick, The Cure
"Men of profound sadness betray themselves when they are happy: they have a mode of seizing upon happiness as though they would choke and strangle it, out of jealousy—ah, they know only too well that it will flee from them!"
- 279, Beyond Good and Evil, F. Nietzsche
"Convictions are more dangerous enemies of truth than lies."
- F. Nietzsche
"There are no facts, only interpretations."
- F. Nietzsche
"To be considered great is to be misunderstood."
- E. Presley
"Most of what you accomplish in research is the coal that you mine while looking for diamonds."
- P.D. Boyer
