The quote below is my entry for 1linerweds – you can see the other posts in the link. As they died to make things holy,let us die to make them cheap, Leonard Cohen Years ago I studied social sciences and I remember in the coursework they changed a quote by Descartes – “I think […]
I tried to disprove this one personally. My results so far have been poor. I just realised writing this down – all I need to do is toss a coin. Something I could have done forty years ago. Isn’t it amazing how the best ideas are always the ones you chastise yourself for not […]
