For a term paper, so if there's anything holy it'll sink without a trace. However, I have been informed that said paper will be mined for a book my professor is writing, so . . . conceivably!

Hello! I am writing a thing about walking and writing and I may quote your blog post on the subject. Hope that's all right!

Hello,
I'm wondering who painted your profile icon. Could you enlighten me?
Thanks!

yes, Dostoevsky is a proto-existentialist. Actually, I think he's proto everything, including the modern self, which is why I'm interested in the Laing. Do you know Dostoevsky's The Double?

Thanks for the friend request. Interesting-looking blog – is the title from Lichtenberg? Have you read La Rochefoucauld? He was my starting point for a mini aphorism spree last year...
