La perfection est atteinte non quand il ne reste rien à ajouter, mais quand il ne reste rien à enlever. (Antoine de Saint Exupery)Another way: Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatemThe philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways; the point, however, is to change it. (Karl Marx)What do I think of Western civilization? I think it would be a very good idea. (Mohandas Gandhi)Wherever law ends, tyranny begins (John Locke)Freiheit ist immer die Freiheit des Andersdenkenden Rosa LuxemburgA freedom which is only interested in denying freedom must be denied. And it is not true that the recognition of the freedom of others limits my own freedom: to be free is not to have the power to do anything you like; it is to be able to surpass the given toward an open future; the existence of others as a freedom defines my situation and is even the condition of my own freedom. I am oppressed if I am thrown into prison, but not if I am kept from throwing my neighbor into prison. - Simone de Beauvoir, Ethics of AmbiguityHave nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful. -- William MorrisLove is like quicksilver in the hand. Leave the fingers open and it stays. Clutch it, and it darts away. -- Dorothy Parkerabortion rights, academia, agriculture, amsterdam, anthropology, archaeology, arisia, atheism, cats, colonialism, computers, cooking, costume design, databases, denmark, doctor who, economic anthropology, england, fandom, fanon, feminism, freetown christiania, geeking, german, globalization, history, industrial organization, iron age, land use, marx, material culture, mead, medieval history, philosophy, pilates, political economy, politics, porn, reading, renfaires, sca, science fiction, sewing, stpec, subways, swimming, vikings, yoga
