ABOUT ME

Right now, I'm in Damascus trying to learn Arabic. Turns out, this language is kind of hard. who knew.

PHILOSOPHY

Hmm. it goes something like this:

“If you hold a cat by the tail you learn things you cannot learn any other way." -Twain

"I have never let my schooling interfere with my education" -Twain

"from now on, I connect the dots my own way" -Calvin and Hobbes

"retire-toi dans toi, parais moins et sois plus."
-Agrippa d'Aubigne

"enjoy what you can, endure what you must" -Von Goethe

"Ce qui embellit le désert c'est qu'il cache un puits quelque part" -le petit prince

“I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all the kinds of things you can't see from the center.”
- Kurt Vonnegut

"While man's desires and aspirations stir he cannot choose but err" - Von Goethe. Faust I

"kiss the mouth which tells you here, here is the world. this mouth. this laughter. these temple bones.
the still undanced cadence of vanishing"
-Galway Kinnell
