Nova Sketches

“BEHAVIOR, n. Conduct, as determined, not by principle, but by breeding. The word seems to be somewhat loosely used in Dr. Jamrach Holobom's translation of the following lines in the Dies Iræ:
Recordare, Jesu pie,
Quod sum causa tuæ viæ.
Ne me perdas illa die.

Pray remember, sacred Savior,
Whose the thoughtless hand that gave your
Death-blow. Pardon such behavior.”
― Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary

“Memento mori- remember you will die.”
― Lemony Snicket

“ANTAGONIST, n. The miserable scoundrel who won't let us.”
― Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary

“Do not understand how the battle is fought, in which the fight takes place with itself.”
― Surya Raj
