1- All generalizations are dangerous, even this one. – Alexandre Dumas

2- not dens, libraries
or workshops; some men want
man caves. how telling.

3- not red, white and blue
but red and blue, the Divided

perhaps the red and
the black and blue.

it’s just that I’ve always disliked
incompetence.)

1- When we all think alike, no one thinks very much. – Walter Lippman

2- it’s not a matter
of knowing when to start so

human life. it’s always
