Black Sheep Boy

a subject of relativity, a relative of subjectivity

About Me

I sneeze violently
I will not answer my phone
I will not call you back

"Ce que j'ai fais, ce soir la
Ce qu'elle a dit, ce soir la
Realisant mon espoir
Je me lance, vers la gloire... Ok
We are vain and we are blind
I hate people when they're not polite"

"The truth that makes men free is for the most part the truth which men prefer not to hear." - Herbert Agar

"Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence." - Robert Frost

"We must travel in the direction of our fear" - John Allyn Berryman

"If there is anything the nonconformist hates worse than a conformist, it's another nonconformist who doesn't conform to the prevailing standard of nonconformity." - Bill Vaughn
