Imagine Quoting The Guy Who Wrote GodFather of Math Trilogy

________________________________________________________________________________________________


The difference between the philosopher
and the non-philosopher
is a matter of pronouns.

For the non-philosopher, comments about human behavior
begin with  "They do this..." or "They do that..."

For the philosopher, comments about human behavior
begin with "We do this..." or "We do that..."

 Paul Oliverio
The 65th BULLET

  1. A related quote from Victor Hugo:

    Intelligence is the wife,
    imagination is the mistress,
    and memery is the servant.

    1. Memery is the servant.

      Was that a typo or a Freudian slip?

  2. Meowry is never a servant.

    VH sounds a bit like
    a vieux pervers
    (dirty old man)

    1. There are no "typos,"
      there is only creative spelling.

      Meowry is never a servant
      because any home with a feline presence
      is the Kingdom Of The CAT.

      The "vieux pervers" and the brilliant novelist
      are not mutually exclusive,
      gender notwithstanding.
