"Jesus Christ am I miserable unfortunate person with a turbulent past? How does one become un-unlucky? I don’t want to be this person to my friends and I’ve had to deal with plenty like this… did they make me like them? Infect them?
Fuck the author for there not being a reversal of the law lol. I hope I am just a bad circumstances guy and not a lustful leech, ugh." — May 20, 2025 05:10AM

“A garden has to be disciplined so that the plans and flowers do not strangle each other, but the beauty of the garden is not in the discipline so much as the things whose growth it has made possible.”

“The battle swayed.
Half-naked men hacked slowly at each other
As the Greeks eased back the Trojans.
They stood close;
Closer; thigh in thigh; mask twisted over iron mask
Like kissing.”
― War Music: An Account of Books 1-4 and 16-19 of Homer's Iliad

“now it’s computers and more computers
and soon everybody will have one,
3-year-olds will have computers
and everybody will know everything
about everybody else
long before they meet them.
nobody will want to meet anybody
else ever again
and everybody will be
a recluse
like I am now.”

“Against stupidity we are defenseless. Neither protests nor the use of force accomplish anything here; reasons fall on deaf ears; facts that contradict one’s prejudgment simply need not be believed—in such moments the stupid person even becomes critical—and when facts are irrefutable they are just pushed aside as inconsequential, as incidental.”
