"Though the wages of freedom demand everlasting vigilance,
the cost of fealty claims the sacrifice of the intellect." - Jean-Baptiste Deaudeux

About Me
- fyshpatrick
- My life has been filled with incredibly good fortune, most of which never happened. I neither subscribe to theories of predestination, nor do I condone notions of a preordained future that foretells events; I reserve a special brand of contempt for anything forecast by prophesy. I dismiss out of hand the presumption that each of us has some special calling or assignment in life, other than that of our own choosing, and I reject all superstitious beliefs, especially those rooted in the cults that have risen out of a fear of death. But I do embrace the possibility that each of us has the power to create the person we wish to be, that the only limitation imposed is the degree to which we exercise our own imagination and then act upon it: Vision without action is a daydream; action without vision is a nightmare.
