| I like to think I know quite a bit about linguistics and at least something about philosophy. I'm also quite interested and somewhat knowledgeable in the field of art. I like to read and I read everything I can. I am more interested in ideas than literary techniques, though that is not to say that I do not appreciate good writing.
I have cultivated my hysteria with delight and terror. ~ Charles Baudelaire Only those things are beautiful which are inspired by madness and written by reason. ~ Andre Gide Madness is tonic and invigorating. It makes the sane more sane. The only ones who are unable to profit from it are the insane. ~Henry Miller There is always some madness in love. But there is always some reason in madness. ~Friedrich Nietzsche "Behold," said she. "I am that which MUST EVER SURPASS ITSELF." ~Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spake Zarathustra |
