I Hid My Eyes Behind Your Sofa

If the desire to write is not accompanied by actual writing,
then the desire is not to write.

Thoughts on diplomatic manuals.

Canada's foreign ministry said Saturday that it will rewrite a training manual used by Canadian diplomats that lists the United States as a site of possible torture following pressure from its closest ally.

... aka: "They tortured the foreign minister until he agreed to change it." :)

I only have 1200 characters to use? This is not enough to convey me, let alone cite my sources. You will have to settle for knowing me through what I write, and pretend that is me.

Condoms will break, but I can assure you that vows of abstinence will break more easily than condoms.
- Dr. Joycelyn Elders

In fantasy, impossible things exist. In science fiction, impossible things exist and can be understood by humans. In supernatural horror, impossible things exist and cannot live in peace with humans.
- Will Shetterly

We are living in a time when you can believe anything, as long as you do not claim it to be true.
- Ravi Zacharia

Religion teaches the dangerous nonsense that death is not the end.
- Richard Dawkins

In the time of harmony the golden age is not in the past, it is in the future
- Paul Signac

"No" is the wildest word in the English language.
- Emily Dickinson

The middle ground between genuinely true and outright faking is unconscious delusion.
- Dean Radin

“You have to surrender to your mediocrity, and just write. Because it’s hard, really hard, to write even a crappy book. But it’s better to write a book that kind of sucks rather than no book at all, as you wait around to magically become Faulkner. No one is going to write your book for you and you can’t write anybody’s book but your own.”
— Cheryl Strayed
