“A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything.”

                -Friedrich Nietzsche

I use the word “therefore” way more in academic papers than in everyday speech.

Advertisers don’t lie, they create truth

When you memorize something, you know it “by heart.”  Doesn’t “by head” make more sense?

Sometimes when I’m picking out what underwear I’m going to wear for the day, I’ll change my mind last minute and pretend that this decision will change the rest of my life.

“Nothing’s real.  Remember last night?”
