ABOUT ME

I will need lots of talent to grow old without ever becoming an adult... and that's my aim...
So much yet so little to say about myself... just ask...
I'm a third culture kid http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_culture_kid

PHILOSOPHY

-The greatest compliment that was ever paid me was when one asked me what I thought, and attended to my answer

-I have no doubt that it is part of the destiny of the human race, in its gradual development, to leave off the eating of animals (Henry Thoreau)

-To call women the weaker sex is a libel; it is men's injustice to women. If by strength is meant brute strength, then, indeed, is woman less brute than man. If by strength is meant moral power, then woman is immeasurably man's superior. Has she not greater intuition, is she not more self-sacrificing, has she not greater powers of endurance, has she not greater courage? Without her, man could not be. If nonviolence is the law of our being, the future is with woman. Who can make a more effective appeal to the heart than woman? (Gandhi)

- All authority should be questioned

- Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life. Aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something (Thoreau)

- Careers are demeaning twentieth century inventions, more a liability than an asset

- Men have become the tools of their tools (Thoreau)

- I'm not a nonconformist as nonconformists are conformists too, they just follow a different standard to set themselves apart from conformists (Mine, in the kitchen with dav and ely)

- No matter how I struggle and strive, I'll never get out of this world alive (Hank Williams Sr.)

- Some folks might say that I'm no good
That I wouldn't settle down if I could
But when that open road starts to callin' me
There's somethin' o'er the hill that I gotta see
Sometimes it's hard but you gotta understand
When the Lord made me, He made a Ramblin' Man (Hank Williams Sr.)

- It's a sad reflection on our society that something as basic as drinking water is now a bottled, branded consumer product

- If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be vegetarian (Paul McCartney)

-The philosophy and poetry and religion of most mankind are not worth the dust of a puffball

-We quarter our gross bodies on our poor souls till the former eat up all the latter's substance

-I'd rather do nothing and be happy than do something I don't love just to impress others or because I'm told to

-As for the Pyramids, there is nothing to wonder at in them so much as the fact that so many men could be found degraded enough to spend their lives constructing a tomb for some ambitious booby, whom it would have been wiser and manlier to have drowned in the Nile, and then given his body to the dogs
