"Man is never honestly the fatalist, nor even the stoic. He fights his fate, often desperately. He is forever entering bold exceptions to the rulings of the bench of gods.

It also makes for beauty, for lesser men try to escape from a hopeless and intolerable world by creating a more lovely one of their own."

-- H.L. Mencken

"As the size of an explosion increases, the number of social situations which it is incapable of solving approaches zero."

-- Vaarsuvius

"Solve a man's problems with violence, help him for a day. Teach a man to solve his problems with violence, help him for a lifetime."
