Joint Semi-Posthumous Reflections

Reflection #1

Intellectual insights are paper ...for a mind that's sharp as a shredder.

Reflection #2

The moment we talk about it, the simplest thing becomes complex and incomprehensible.   In other words, simplicity analyzed is a diatribe most self-trickingly contrived.   In other words, although onomatopoeia would  keep us true, onomastics generally rules.  In other words…blah, blah, blah...

Reflection #3

Wisdom is incommunicable.  Wisdom that a wise man tries to communicate always sounds like folly.  Like folly? Two syllables, begins with…jolly, trolley, dolly, holly, volley??? Ah! The Hindu goddess of destruction, Kali!!

Reflection #4

No one is more vain, more intent on echo and approval than the thinker, and indeed he is bitterly in need of echo and approval  …and eProps.

Reflection #5

To be able to throw oneself away for the sake of a moment, to be able to sacrifice years for a woman's smile—that is happiness.  Hence, haha, I should be the happiest man alive!
