• I went to a place recently I think is one of the most f**ked up places I've ever been to. I'm convinced this place is the epitome of American excess, of American greed.

• Los humanos tienen un dicho que reza "La belleza está en el ojo del que mira", lo que básicamente significa que si a uno le parece bello, entonces es bello. La versión élfica de este dicho fue compuesta por el gran poeta B.O Selecta, que decía "Incluso el más llano de los llanos se dignará reinar", lo que a los críticos siempre les ha parecido un poco rimbombante. La versión enana de esta máxima es "Si no apesta, cásate con él", que es algo menos romántica, pero la esencia general es la misma.

• The gist of the matter is this: Every impression that comes in from without, be it a sentence which we hear, an object of vision, or an effluvium which assails our nose, no sooner enters our consciousness than it is drafted off in some determinate direction or other, making connection with the other materials already there, and finally producing what we call our reaction. The particular connections it strikes into are determined by our past experiences and the 'associations' of the present sort of impression with them.
