'Know thyself? If I knew myself, I'd run away.' - Johann Wolfgang von Goeth

About Me


"I live in my head too much." - Brian May
"Well, Americans:
What, nothin' better to do?
Why don't you kick yourself out?
You're an immigrant too."
- Icky Thump, by the White Stripes
"The world is in chaos. Honorable dealing is deteriorating, good friends are few, truth is held in disrepute, good service is underpaid, poor service is overpaid. Whole nations are committed to evil dealings: With one you fear insecurity, with another, inconsistency, with a third, betrayal. This being what it is, let the bad faith of others serve not as an example, but as warning. The real danger of the situation lies in the unhinging of your own integrity: accepting less than your best, being overly tolerant of stupidity, forgiving incompetence, fraternizing with the nonspiritual. The man of principle never forgets what he is, because he clearly sees what the others are."
- Baltasar Gracián (1601–58)
"I have often thought that if photography were difficult in the true sense of the term-meaning that the creation of a simple photograph would entail as much time and effort as the production of a good watercolor or etching-there would be a vast improvement in total output. The sheer ease with which we can produce a superficial image often leads to creative disaster."
-Ansel Adams
"A man may devote himself to death and destruction to save a nation; but no nation will devote itself to death and destruction to save mankind."
-Samuel Taylor Coleridge
"The most common error made in the matters of appearance is the belief that one should disdain the superficial and let the true beauty of one's soul shine through. If there are places on your body where this is a possibility, you are not attractive - you are leaking."
-Fran Lebowitz
