About Me

"You must know that it is no easy thing for a principle to become a man's own, unless each day he maintain it and hear it maintained, as well as work it out in life." - Epictetus

You see, I like Epictetus because he teaches the things we already know as truth but just may be haven't learned to appreciate or recognize them as such.

I like Krishnamurti because he makes me think too long and too hard.

"I once heard a learned man say, "Every evil has its remedy, except folly. To reprimand an obstinate fool or to preach to a dolt is like writing upon the water. Christ healed the blind, the halt, the palsied, and the leprous. But the fool He could not cure." - Gibran

Heroes:
