Current mood:

quixotic

I don't even like to wear ties...they cut off blood to the brain
Cool people walk slow.  Especially if you have to wait on them.

Christians smile as they eagerly hear about one another's days.  Or perhaps as they discuss their passage for the day.

Philosophers can only accept Christianity if it's modalistic.

Kierkegaard (or rather the character of his pseudonym) noted at the beginning of one of his books that avoiding being discussed was a blessing, lest he become a paragraph in "the system".

Confession and self-flagellation help you acquire not just your "sea legs" but also your "sea stomach" (it would be best if you didn't look out).  When your legs and stomach have been properly adjusted, you may even be promoted to captain...with your own bathroom!

As we all know, being nice and being hateful are directly opposed.  I hate people who are hateful.  [Too obvious?  How about this:]  As we all know, being polite and being mean are directly opposed.

I once heard a story about a Nazi officer who, while walking, saw a young Jewish girl being dragged away and felt pity.  He wrote later that he needed to strengthen his moral fortitude so that he would not be swayed by such deceptive emotions.  I once, while walking, saw a minority girl who laughed happily, and I felt an overwhelming kind of joy with and for her.  But I caught myself, because something seemed wrong with this empathy.  You might think I'm making a comparison between myself and the Nazi officer.  And that would make a lot of sense.
