see, the thing is, if you read 'death on the installment plan' you will realize that L.F. Celine quote is actually really morbid, depressing, and horrifying.

[minxnim]

I'm not that much of a dummy actually - I've heard of the book, but I just don't have much time or initiative for reading these days outside of the newspaper.

a bit of input from one of my favorite people, Ambrose Bierce.

MIND, n.
A mysterious form of matter secreted by the brain. Its chief activity consists in the endeavor to ascertain its own nature, the futility of the attempt being due to the fact that it has nothing but itself to know itself with. From the Latin mens, a fact unknown to that honest shoe-seller, who, observing that his learned competitor over the way had displayed the motto "Mens conscia recti," emblazoned his own front with the words "Men's, women's and children's conscia recti."

 

[avi]

ah yes, the devil's dictionary. That's a book I actually do know.

weird. I haven't read bierce in years, and Saturday night a friend and I were trading devil's dictionary quotes at the post-wedding party...
