The true test of civilization is, not the census, nor the size of the cities, nor the crops, but the kind of man that the country turns out.

A goal is not the same as a desire, and this is an important distinction to make. You can have a desire you don’t intend to act on, but you cannot have a goal you don’t intend to act on.

Advice is like snow; the softer it falls, the longer it dwells upon, and the deeper it sinks into, the mind.

This is a blog that focuses on philosophy, literature, and sometimes even art. Anything that will make you think, and think well, I will post. Sometimes I'll even post a news article and provide some commentary. Other times I will post a little mini-rant exposing flaws in our society or even ourselves for the goal of inspiring some kind of thought. My goal here for this blog is to stimulate the mind, motivate thought, and inspire philosophers, writers, and artists alike.
Please know that I will not hold back on the literature posted, nor will I censor any quote or rant I cite/make. More clearly, nothing here is safe from ridicule or praise. When I do make a rant however, I would love for you to try and argue with it, especially if it is about a controversial topic (Two opposing views are more constructive to the truth than two similar ones). If you decide that you need to express your opinion (to me), I will listen. Unlike most of the Internet, I will respect your opinion as much as mine.
You can also ask me any question; from if you should break up with your boy/girlfriend, to the meaning of life. I can guarantee that I will answer you. Follow and you will not be disappointed with this Philosophical Blog.
Also, if you know a fantastic art/literature blog, please tell me it. I would be thrilled and very appreciative if you recommended any.
