Noetic divagations from an atrophied mind and disheartened spirit
One thing I've always enjoyed about Max Oz's blog is that he captures a lot of thought and imagery in very few words. Since I know my posts can get rather lengthy at times, I'm going to try my hand at creating a few posts that make a simple point and share just a tidbit of wisdom or a little idea to ponder. Of course, I may start out posting several at a time, but I hope you enjoy the format.

"Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth -- more than ruin -- more even than death.... Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man." -- Bertrand Russell
The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all your Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it
-- Omar Khayyam
