...A strange art – music – the most poetic and precise of all the arts, vague as a dream and precise as algebra. - Guy de Maupassant

Language dazzles and deceives because it is masked by faces, because we see it emerging from the lips, because lips please and eyes beguile. But words on paper, black on white, reveal the naked soul.

It's not difficult to appear bright, don't worry. The main thing is never to show obvious ignorance of anything. You prevaricate, avoid the difficulty, steer clear of the problem and then catch other people out by using a dictionary. All men are stupid oafs and ignorant nincompoops.

The essence of life is the smile of round female bottoms, under the shadow of cosmic boredom.
