Creativity Is Not A Substitute For Competence.

Fantasy Mirrors Desire. Imagination Reshapes It.

Clouds Of Flavors And Savors Float Around The Thing-in-itself.

Your Flattery Is As Full Of Contempt As Your Insults Were.

Growth Provides Novel Experiences For Youth; Decay The Same, Alas, For Age.

Fail, And Your Friends Feel Superior. Succeed, And They Feel Resentful.
