The former post was off topic and was thus removed as it was a violation of our
Great Books & Classics spirit. These forums are being phased out & replaced. Join us at our new

Please respect that these are Great Books sites. We prefer discussions along the following
lines:
Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one. --Albert
EinsteinThe Holy Ghost was working through me on this film, and I was just
direction traffic. Mel Gibson
No matter what time it is, wake me, even if it\'s in the middle of a
Cabinet meeting.
Ronald Reagan
CXXI
\'Tis better to be vile than vile esteem\'d,
When not to be receives reproach of being;
And the just pleasure lost, which is so deem\'d
Not by our feeling, but by others\' seeing:
For why should others\' false adulterate eyes
Give salutation to my sportive blood?
Or on my frailties why are frailer spies,
Which in their wills count bad what I think good?
No, I am that I am, and they that level
At my abuses reckon up their own:
I may be straight though they themselves be bevel;
By their rank thoughts, my deeds must not be shown;
Unless this general evil they maintain,
All men are bad and in their badness reign.
--William Shakespeare
