Feelings are everywhere -- be gentle.

Some facts should be suppressed, or, at least, a just sense of proportion should be observed in treating them.

It is the Vague and Elusive. Meet it and you will not see its head. Follow it and you will not see its back. Cured yesterday of my disease, I died last night of my physician.
Fanaticism consists in redoubling your efforts when you have forgotten your aim.
I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.

A linguistic system is a series of differences of sound combined with a series of differences of ideas.

Entrepreneurial profit is the _expression of the value of what the entrepreneur contributes to production.

Malice is only another name for mediocrity.

The reward of art is not fame or success but intoxication: that is why so many bad artists are unable to give it up.
The secret of Happiness is Freedom, and the secret of Freedom, Courage.

Some consultants are like the bottom half of a double boiler: They get all heated up but don't know what's cooking.
If you want your dreams to come true, don't over sleep.

We know what happens to people who stay in the middle of the road. They get run over.

Architecture is petrified music.

The ablest men in all walks of modern life are men of faith. Most of them have much more faith than they themselves realize. Rich folks always talk hard times. Lawyers and woodpeckers have long bills.

This is the complete email. Bizarre, huh?

Cool I wish I got trippy e-mails like that but most of mine seem to be either chain letters or unfunny jokes from some of my sad act friends.

Not at all. Read it again. Pay attention to what it says. Much of it is true. Thanks for posting it.

I'm sure you'll find some way to blame it on America.

Nice one!

That is indeed a weird email, Zulu, even if parts of it makes sense, it addresses too many topics at once.

that E-mail looks like it was written by a hippie or something.

 

[Taliesin]

Architecture is petrified music.

That, at least, is from a reputable source: Friedrich von Schelling's Philosophie der Kunst, Madame de Stael's Corinne, and, IIRC, something by J.W. von Goethe.

 

[Babbler]

It still a wierd email, even if all of it is true.

 

[The Person]

Who wrote this? If you don't recognize the address it was sent from, then it's for sure a weird e-mail. If it's from one of your friends, you should check what he's on.

But that doesn't mean it doesn't give good advice. I just wonder who writes this kind of e-mails.

Another question is if the good advice in the e-mail will be taken into account. Mostly people just read it, thinking it's good advice, then forget about it until they get reminded of it again.

The stupidest email I had was an advertisment for a device that could translate dog barking into human intelligible language

Warf! Warf!

Well, the Internet was invented by Americans (Al Gore, specifically ) ...
