Save the gerund and screw the whale.

I never had any frustration about writing uncredited. I always felt that the satisfaction of doing it was in the doing of it, really, and getting recognised by the small number of people that know what you did.

Each move is dictated by the previous one--that is the meaning of order
Tom Stoppard

The names for things don't come first. Words stagger after, hopelessly trying to become the sensation.
Tom Stoppard
Image
I'm the kind of person who embarks on an endless leapfrog down the great moral issues. I put a position, rebut it, refute the rebuttal and rebut the refutation. Endlessly.
