Eye of Polyphemus: Kelly Brook

"The purpose of a writer is to keep civilization from destroying itself" -- Albert Camus

"Fear not your enemies, for they can only kill you; fear not your friends, for they can only betray you; fear only the indifferent who permit killers and betrayers to walk safely on the Earth."-- Edward Yashinsky

"You cannot conceive, nor can I, the appalling strangeness of the mercy of God."-- Graham Greene

As a dreamer of dreams
And a travelin' man
I have chalked up many a mile
Read dozens of books
About heroes and crooks
And I learned much
From both of their styles--
"Son of a Son of a Sailor", Jimmy Buffett

"What passes for optimism is most often the effect of an intellectual error."--Raymond Aron
