"Look for your own. Do not do what someone else could do as well as you. Do not say, do not write what someone else could say, could write as well as you. Care for nothing in yourself but what you feel exists nowhere else. And, out of yourself create, impatiently or patiently, the most irreplaceable of beings."
(Andre Gide)

(Nathaniel Hawthorne)
“A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us.”
(Franz Kafka)

(John Donne)
“Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.”
(Robert J. Hanlon)

Very Merry Solistice!




Have a very jovial, convivial, atheist, humanist, revolutionary and - of course - Christianity-free Christmas! And remember to spend some quality time with your computer, as it is not only old-people and single-people who get lonely at this time of year: an AI is for life, not just for Xmas.

"Wishing you a very merry Solstice
Mithra's won his fight
From now on the days grow longer than the night ..."
