dark sense-of-humor moments
I'm not a particularly dark individual. I have my moments, it's true, but I do have a sense of humor.
imagination inverse
There is an inverse relationship between imagination and money.
war doors differences
Admittedly, I do have several bones... whole war fields full of bones, in fact... to pick with organised religion of whatever stripe. This should be seen as a critique of purely temporal agencies who have, to my mind, erected more obstacles between whatever notion of spirituality and Godhead one subscribes to than they have opened doors. To me, the difference between Godhead and the Church is the difference between Elvis and Colonel Parker... although that conjures images of God dying on the toilet, which is not what I meant at all.
christian believe disease
To some degree Satanism is purely a kind of disease of Christianity. You've got to really be Christian to believe in Satan.
crazy people way
If we can come up with all sorts of imaginative ways in which people die, then I really don't see what the problem is with coming up with imaginative ways in which people can procreate.
dc-comics laughing sides
It's all a joke! Everything anybody ever valued or struggled for... it's all a monstrous, demented gag! So why can't you see the funny side? Why aren't you laughing?
crazy dc-comics black
...My point is, I went crazy. When I saw what a black, awful joke the world was. I went crazy as a coot! I admit it! Why can't you?
art thinking feelings
Art makes us feel less alone. It makes us think: somebody else has thought this, somebody else has had these feelings.
league gentleman television
The announcement that there is a League of Extraordinary Gentlemen television series hasn't caused me to drastically alter my opinions. Now it seems they are recycling things that have already proven not to work.
opportunity library today
I wouldn’t be the person I am today if it wasn’t for the opportunities the library gave me.
ideas example three
Of course, Marxism is an example of what Carl Popper would have called a 'World Three' structure, in that it's got immense power as an idea, but you couldn't actually hold up anything in the world and say: 'this is Marxism'.
growing late critique
A lot of the critique of our growing mechanization was actually at its strongest, and arguably at its most perceptive, during the late '60s.
practice ideas growth
With science, ideas can germinate within a bed of theory, form, and practice that assists their growth... But we as gardeners, must beware... for some seeds are the seeds of ruin... and the most iridescent blooms are often the most dangerous
comedian wells
Well, what do you expect? The Comedian is dead.
