Fred's favorite quotes

"Here is a lesson in creative writing. First rule: Do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you've been to college."
Kurt Vonnegut (A Man Without a Country)

"To have opinions is to sell out to youself. To have no opinions is to exist. To have every opinion is to be a poet."
Fernando Pessoa (El libro del desasosiego)

"Had to go there!!!
The perfect man, for Pagans, was the perfection of the man that exists; for Christians, the perfection of the man that does not exist; and for Buddhists, the perfection of no man existing."
— b.o.d. fp
