  • Heroes

    Everyone who fights (in every interpretation of the word) to make the world a better place. And all these people:

    The enemy is the gramaphone mind, whether or not one agrees with the record that is being played at the moment.
    - George Orwell -

    I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naïve or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.
    - Anaïs Nin -

    I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a door mat or a prostitute.
    - Rebecca West -

    Commit the oldest sins the newest kinds of ways.
    - William Shakespeare -

    We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospection.
    - Anaïs Nin -

    I don't know with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.
    - Albert Einstein (1879-1955) -

    In heaven all the interesting people are missing.
    - Friedrich Nietzsche -

    Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose.
    - Kris Kristopherson -

    I am a humanist, which means, in part, that I have tried to behave decently without any expectation of regards or punishments after I'm dead.
    - Kurt Vonnegut Jr. (1922-2007) -

    Those who restrain desire do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained.
    - William Blake (1757 - 1827) -

    We're never so vulnerable than when we trust someone - but paradoxically, if we cannot trust, neither can we find love or joy.
    - Walter Anderson -

    There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness.
    - Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900) -

    Only passions, great passions, can elevate the soul to great things.
    - Denis Diderot (1713 - 1784) -

    Never to suffer would never to have been blessed.
    - Edgar Allan Poe (1809 - 1849) -

    You desire to know the art of living, my friend? It is contained in one phrase: make use of suffering.
    - Henri-Frédéric Amiel -

    The difference between a democracy and a dictatorship is that in a democracy you vote first and take orders later; in a dictatorship you don't have to waste your time voting.
    - Charles Bukowski -

    Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.
    - Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931) -

    A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.
    - George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950) -

    Love isn't a decision. It's a feeling. If we could decide who we loved, it would be much simpler, but much less magical.
    - Trey Parker and Matt Stone -

    A room without books is like a body without a soul.
    - Cicero (106 BC - 43 BC), (Attributed) -

    Imagination is more important than knowledge...
    - Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955) -

    Use your imagination not to scare yourself to death but to inspire yourself to life.
    - Adele Brookman -

    The first step towards recovery is to turn your personal tragedy into a weapon for making others horribly uncomfortable.
    - Jeph Jacques, Questionable Content #648 -

    What spirit is so empty and blind, that it cannot recognize the fact that the foot is more noble than the shoe, and skin more beautiful than the garment with which it is clothed?
    - Michelangelo -

    Sometimes the appropriate response to reality is to go insane.
    - Philip K. Dick -

    Cynics regarded everybody as equally corrupt... Idealists regarded everybody as equally corrupt, except themselves.
    - Robert Anton Wilson -

About me:

I don't claim to be normal in the slightest nor is it on my list of aspirations. I am outspoken and somewhat blunt (at times painfully). I relish a good debate with a worthy opponent. I'm extremely principled and usually sure I'm right but I'm not so stubborn that I cannot admit when someone else has a valid point. I love learning; why else are we here? I adore science and logic. I believe there are things larger than us and concepts our pitiful minds may never understand, but I do not feel that makes them supernatural. We are not the end all be all of intelligent life nor does this universe revolve around us despite the egocentric beliefs we as a species seem to hold. I am wildly passionate about the people and subjects close to my heart. If you feel you can consider yourself part of that group know that you are as loved as is humanly possible. There is nothing I wouldn't do to protect my friends. I feel everything very deeply and despite the inevitable hurt I continue to wear my heart on my sleeve. I once thought that made me weak but have since decided the world needs people like me. I firmly believe that sometimes not being okay is the appropriate reaction. I am an emotional person and you either accept that and pass me a tissue and a hug or you find someone else to be around. I write. Not always well, but it's something I do. I would love to be able to consider it a career but my very vocal logical side holds me back. I fear change, failure, aloneness and spiders. Sometimes heights too. You may not always understand me or what my thought process could have possibly been to get from A to B. I will probably frustrate you; I'm told it's worthwhile in the end.
