    "Sex" is as important as eating or drinking and we ought to allow the one appetite to be satisfied with as little restraint or false modesty as the other.

    "So. Great Truth is this: all is lies! All men are liars, all things of matter are lies. Universe, Time, Live, all are great cosmic jokes from which little, everyday falsehoods are woven. Even Great Truth is untrustworthy."

    / Incidentally, probably the first one I've posted that truly resonates with me.

    How gullible are you? Is your gullibility located in some "gullibility center" in your brain? Could a neurosurgeon reach in and perform some delicate operation to lower your gullibility, otherwise leaving you alone? If you believe this, you are pretty gullible, and should perhaps consider such an operation.
