“The projected vision in the mind’s eye of a person’s conceptual self represents a self-edited photocomposition. Our conceived self consists of an admixture of facts gleaned from the residue of yesteryear’s reality imposed over a bed of surreal images.”
Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

Ufuoma Apoki
“Virtues should not be seen as a medium to please others, else, they'll always fall short. They should, first, be a medium of self-edification.”
Ufuoma Apoki
