The United States has become a place where entertainers and professional athletes are mistaken for people of importance. — Robert A. Heinlein. American author and engineer (1907–1988)
I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.
Of all the nonsense that twists the world, the concept of 'altruism' is the worst. People do what they want to do, every time.
Writing is not necessarily something to be ashamed of, but do it in private and wash your hands afterwards.
