About Me


Don't believe a word you've heard about me.
"Don't deceived yourself. Life is not governed by will or intention. Life is a question of nerves, and fibres, and slowly built-up cells in which thought hides itself and passion has its dreams. You may fancy yourself safe and think yourself strong. But a chance tone of colour in a room or a morning sky, a particular perfume that you had once loved and that brings subtle memories with it, a line from a forgotten poem that you had come across again, a cadence from a piece of music that you had ceased to play--I tell you that it is on things like these that our lives depend."
"...(he) is Prometheus who changed his mind. After centuries of being torn by vultures in payment for having brought to men the fire of the gods, he broke his chains--and he withdrew his fire--until the day when men withdraw their vultures."
I'm not the same kid I was when I was younger, I just thought you should know.
"Can I get a goddamn timpani roll to start this goddamn song?"

O Therese, what weight are these arguments to carry with an inquiring and philosophic mind?

Is the sage able to see anything in this appalling heap of fables but the disgusting fruit of a few men's imposture and the diddled credulity of a vast number? had God willed it that we have some reli...
