Freud was dry AND an idiot. What a combination.

"Freud wrote a book on the essence of humor, but he didn't know what he was talking about. Max Eastman wrote a book, The Enjoyment of Laughter, that was a much better book, but nobody bothered to read it."
John Gould

Nice, an optimistic view on something I was hoping you'd defend. I did not expect that one with you behind the blinking screen.

Il n'est jamais trop tard pour sonder l'inconnu, Il n'est jamais trop tard pour aller au-delà.

It should really read:
Non è mai troppo tardi per sondare lo sconosciuto, non è mai troppo tardi per andare oltre.

But I don't know Italian or French, so I probably botched the translation :(. That ones not from brainyquotes ;)

This is what I got out of it... tinydancer_08 January 15 2006, 21:04:32 UTC

Don't be too late(???) to observe(examine?) the unknown (mysterious, strange?), don't be too late to go beyond(??).
