Two More Quotables from a Rather Dreary Afternoon

1. ON THE MERITS OF FAILURE
'Sometimes you have to let in a little defeat to know where the problem lies.'


2. ON A BUSY LIFE
'Not all occupations are lives but all lives are occupations.'

The First Lot of 'A Few Thoughts'

1. ON LIFE AND EXISTENCE (y'know, the easy stuff...)
'Existence itself was built on a whim. What sort of whim is entirely up for debate.'

2. ON LEARNING (coming down a bit now)
'Everyone is reckless till the moment that they truly learn, and learn to appreciate that.'

3. ON THE CONCEPT OF FOUNDING THINGS (just about the same level)
'No-one really discovers anything, except for themselves.'

4. ON APPROACHING PHILOSOPHICAL EXPLANATION (...and back up again)
'Ask big questions, expect to be lied to.'
