Nihil Declaro

About Me

I am a text at the mercy of the reader.
These guys said it best: "Not that I am saying what the good is; I am trying rather to point out that it is not the same thing which is good and bad, but that each is different from the other." -Anonymous, Dissoi Logoi
"When someone hides something behind a bush and looks for it again the same place and finds it there as well, there is not much to praise in such seeking and finding. Yet this is how matters stand regarding seeking and finding "truth" within the realm of reason. If I make up the definition of a mammal, and then, after inspecting a camel, declare "look, a mammal," I have indeed brought a truth to light in this way, but this is a truth of limited value." -Nietzsche, On Truth and Lies in a Nonmoral Sense.
"Morpheus: If real is what you can feel, smell, taste and see, then 'real' is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain" -The Matrix
"Just because the yard is nice and pretty like a park doesn't make it a park. It's still my property. So keep your dog to yourself! Learn some self control!" -Me :)
"Ralph Wiggum: Me fail English? That's unpossible." -Simpsons
"Ralph Wiggum: Mrs. Krabappel and Principal Skinner were in the closet making babies and I saw one of the babies and then the baby looked at me." -Simpsons
"Homer: I'm normally not a praying man, but if you're up there, please save me Superman." -Simpsons
Peter: Excuse me, is your refrigerator running? Because if it is, it probably runs like you - very homosexually.
