    Very deep.

    "Never sleep with your eyes open, but dream about what they will see."
    For I have known them all already, known them all:
    Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
    I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
    I know the voices dying with a dying fall
    Beneath the music from a farther room.

    So how should I presume?

    I can't think of a nice way to quote this, however I have this theory that idolising others is a perfect way of degrading yourself.

    Agreed!

    I read this somewhere: "Being a paranoid doesn't necessarily mean that you're not being followed"

    I read something similar on a T-shirt.

    To be is to be in a state of both deteroiration and growth. The growth comes the closer inching to decomposition in the ground. We are more dead with every second that passes.

    Digging this topic, so I'll try my hand at a few:

    "As they say in my homeland."
    "You touch me like I would touch my own child. Perhaps witth some trepidation, disgust even, surely delicacy, but you touch me nonetheless!"

    I do think I will be using the Walser quote in my sig whenever the words run dry.
    When Robert Walser met Vladimir Lenin in Zurich, during the war, he had only one thing to say: "So you, too, like fruitcake?"

    "Never take another man's vegetables when you already have enough fruit."

    Heh! I'm sure there is something of a meaning behind that. Just have to figure out what it is...

    Okay you've got explain that.

    "Never begin on a road that is not yet there, it will be a fruitless mission at best."
    If only I meant that.
    I'm going to use, "it will be a fruitless mission at best" more often.

    May it be that the answer is the question itself? Just a random guess.

    Remember that no road was yet there... until someone began it
