"Wretched, ephemeral race, children of chance and tribulation, why do you force me to tell you the very thing which it would be most profitable for you not to hear? The very best thing [for man] is utterly beyond your reach: not to have been born, not to be, to be nothing. However, the second best thing for you is: to die soon."

-Aristotle,

hmm Aristotle was a dick... good to know.

NO...it's from a greek myth about Midas hunting a demon...this is what the demon says once he's been captured and the question "what is best for man" is asked of him.

Oooooh well it looked like you were qouting Aristotle (whom I apologize for calling a dick(Unless he was one, in which case I don't)). I've never heard that one about Midas, all I remember about him was the gold thing.

yeah, Aristotle wasn't so bad, as far as philosophers go anyway.
