Hodie,

Christus natus est.

Hodie, Salvator apparuit:

Laetantur Archangeli;

Hodie exsultant justi, dicentes:

Gloria in excelsis Deo,

Et in terra pax hominibus bonae voluntatis:

Alleluia.

truthful things

I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.

Speak only if it improves upon the silence.

There are many causes I would die for. There is not a single cause I would kill for.

Of all the words of mice and men, the saddest are 'It might have been.'

A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.

If I

"I'm a nerd, okay - I accept it. How about I apply that, focus, develop some clarity, contribute something to the world, don't be so self-centered with the games and puzzles? Maybe I could change the world... Okay, maybe I'm getting carried away. But I think I did figure something out. "I" equals all of the "If"s, added up over "time." The "If"s, those are the possibilities. That's infinite, for all of us. Every day, there are just millions of them. Time. That's finite for each of us. There's no question there. Maybe if you divide the choices by the amount of time you have, the real "I" can emerge depending upon those choices. So in the end, all I can say is you can't figure out a person. Definitely not yourself. You can't maximize a life. What you can do is try to be honest in the choices that you make. Be true to yourself, no matter how embarrassing those choices are. Life is not a science, I realize that. But if I told you that right now I don't have a point system of some kind, I'd be a liar. Look, I'm a guy who does palindromes and tells jokes about leather jackets, because that gives me some meaning, at least for now. You know what? I apologize for none of it. Because the unexamined life is not worth living, man."
