“Tis true my form is something odd
But blaming me is blaming God
Could I create myself anew
I would not fail in pleasing you.

If I could reach from pole to pole
Or grasp the ocean with a span
I would be measured by the soul
The mind's the standard of the man.”
― Isaac Watts

“The world is indeed comic, but the joke is on mankind.”
― H. P. Lovecraft

“People often claim to hunger for truth, but seldom like the taste when it's served up.”
