because we are in quote mode, and because some authors have said some true things better than i could:
"an ax can certainly chop down a tree. but in doing so, the ax is hurt as well. it eventually will become dull and pitted, no matter how well foged it is. you can keep sharpening the blade, or just wield it with more force, but it is inevitible that the blade will break on a tree some day."
-Long Winded Author, Robert Jordan,
in one of the MANY wheel of time books
"the inteligent mind is not bothered by ambiguitys or discontinuitys. they can bend and flex, and live with things that aren't right. you dont have to be educated to be inteligent, and in fact education can sometimes keep you from being inteligent."
-Basass Sci-Fi Writer Neil Stephenson,
in his Basass book "the Diamond Age"
these are not literal quotes, becuase im just to lazy to actually look up the passage, but its the gist. i dont think Robert Jordan was as concreet as I am when he wrote it. i tend to remember ideas better than words. |
