Dissimulation, n. The subtle art of self-defence with a red-hot poker: Never play tic-tac-toe without it.

Amerec Bibrose, Jr.

-Dissimulation, even the most innocent in its nature, is ever productive of embarrassment; whether the design is evil or not, artifice is always dangerous and almost inevitably disgraceful.-
Jean de La Bruyère

Dissimulation is a form of deception in which one conceals the truth. It differs from simulation, in which one exhibits false information. Dissimulation commonly takes the form of concealing one's ability in order to gain the element of surprise over an opponent.

William Kodama

Words, like people, hate to be the slaves of ideas.

marty rubin

you are my equal. Stay away from words like they, them, those. Instead you must only use words that have a positive connotation; us, we, I, and you. Judge but do not condemn people, unless you have been in a situation similar to the person you want to condemn. The latter will let you understand people you hate.
The below is another way to understand the latter;
1. the stigmatized are those who bear the stigma;
2. the normals are those who do not bear the stigma; and
3. the wise are those among the normals who are accepted by the stigmatized as "wise" to their condition (borrowing the term from the homosexual community).

And yo whatever comes up comes out
We don't put our hands over our mouth
And whatever comes up comes out
We don't put our hands over our mouth
Whatever comes up comes out
Please mister bass-man lay it on me

Ayo, Dependin on the day, and dependin on what I ate
I'm anywhere from 20 to 35 pounds over weight
I got red eyes and one of them's lazy
And they both squint when the sun shines so I look crazy
I'm albino man, I know I'm pink and pale
And I'm hairy as hell, everywhere but fingernails
I shave a cranium that ain't quite shaped right
Face tight, shiny, I stay up and write late nights
My wardrobe is jeans and faded shirts
A mixture of what I like, and what I wear to work
I'm not mean and got a neck full of razor bumps
I'm not the classic profile of what the ladies want
You might think I'm depressed as can be
But when I look in the mirror I see sexy ass me
And if that's somethin that you can't respect then that's peace
My life's better without you actually
To everyone out there, who's a little different
I say damn a magazine, these are gods fingerprints
You can call me ugly but can't take nothing from me
I am what I am doctor you ain't gotta love me

[Spoken]
If you would please turn in your bible
To beauty tips according to Forest Whitiker
In the third chapter of the third line
Brother Ali would you please read to the choir for me son

[Sung 3X]
I'ma be all right, you ain't gotta be my friend tonight (you ain't gotta love me)
An I'ma be okay, you would probably bore me anyway (you ain't gotta love me)

You can remember her only that she is gone,
or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind,
be empty and turn your back.
Or you can do what she'd want:
smile, open your eyes, love and go on.” - David Harkins -

The pursuit of happiness is doomed to fail, not because no one can be happy, but because no one can be happy by trying to be. Each new land that Alexander the Great conquered, instead of satisfying him, merely widened the circumference of his desires. Meanwhile in Macedon, his servants kept the stables, made love to their wives, and never dreamt of Persia's riches. Happiness is the pursuit of nothing.

On entering the sauna, Epictetus would have us anticipate the possibility of encountering a sweaty, tightly-pressed pack of hairy-arsed, beligerent fatheads whose pisshole eyes stare at us like the twin barrels of a loaded shotgun, and adopt a stoical attitude. Another option is to build a private sauna and invite only one's friends, which is the death of civil society.

Aphorisms are like bad luck. They all come at once.

Kathryn Partridge

The objects of the intuition are neither true nor false. Rather, as a matter of guess-work, I would call them tentative. Philosophers who are overly concerned with truth think that this gives them an indirect, or hypothetical reference to truth. Those of us who pay more than lip-service to our age’s disillusionment take its tentativeness at face-value and would rather not resolve it back into truth. Those of us who also take Plato seriously also therefore think the Platonic soul hits at tentative entities, entities we would rather not see resolve into existence. We do not, however, hold their inexistence against them, since they are no less real than the soul that perceives them.

Ammon Allred

Whenever a discipline becomes increasingly sclerotic, it ought to start pretending as though it had no history. Writing aphorisms requires this sort of discipline.

Ammon Allred

When I was walking my dog, it occurred to me that the problem with ideas is that we suppose they hook up with something beyond themselves, even if we claim to be nominalists. It follows that a profound thought cannot strike us when we are walking our dog, because we are by definition only skimming the surface.
