"I trim my opponents to fit my arrows."

--

Karl Kraus

“I have an intense dislike for artificial society. In France, one could lead a free life - to do what one wanted to do without interference or criticism from one's neighbors.”
“I like being on the road, living in hotels. While I've got a real nice house, I go crazy when I'm there.”
“We used to play baseball back in that field and keep an eye out for the bulls.”
“That in the soul which is called mind (by mind I mean that whereby the soul thinks and judges) is, before it thinks, not actually any real thing. For this reason it cannot reasonably be regarded as blended with the body”
“To know the Word of God, to live the Word of God, to preach the Word, to teach the Word, is the sum of all wisdom, the heart of all Christian service.”
“In writing a series of stories about the same characters, plan the whole series in advance in some detail, to avoid contradictions and inconsistencies.”
“Belief like any other moving body follows the path of least resistance.”
“Philosophy, with the aid of experience, has at length banished the study of alchymy; and the present age, however desirous of riches, is content to seek them by the humbler means of commerce and industry.”
