Things and things...

A woman is never more herself than when she's with a man other than you....

Puzzles and things...

It's not so much that she no longer cares; it's that she no longer cares to show you that she does.

The Facts of Life...

Life--being in the business of teaching--has afforded me two valuable lessons:

The first (and unfortunately the harder of the two lessons to accept) is that humility and kindness are not as advantageous as one would imagine.

The second? Well, the second is that you ought never universalize the perception another human being has made of you. Ever. Period.

Power V. Corruption

Power will always corrupt...because, like any living organism, it has no long-term inherent sustainability. Change is inevitable and is power's greatest foe...

To this end, verbalized cynicism is not an intellectually rites of passage. Rather, it is an illustration of one's inability to understand just what it means to be a hypocrite....

Tread These Paths Cautiously

The wise will always go two steps beyond what they believe to be the answer.

Learning....

More important than what you teach is how you teach.

Subjectivity V. Objectivity

How do you cope with knowing that all you believe is little more than an element to an arbitrary argument?

The Difference....

His problem...wasn't that he intellectualized 'romance.'
It's that she didn't.

The Issue...

Were it discovered that human beings actually have purpose, it will be of the kind that has been given the least amount of consideration.

Advice...

Carry in your pocket an ounce of doubt for any certainty you may hold.

The Day....

I dream of the day when one's intellect will take precedence over her appearance.

Often Times....

There are many in this world who confused Intimidation for Leadership.

Run from this people. And run fast.
