What about the circus time? Or was that just a story?

Old Brigit Novik was pregnant not Indian. Cultural appropriation said nobody then.

Was that Sir Jimmy at the start?

This book is fucking weird, I don't like surreal things they make me feel queasy and trying to read this book is making me feel this way, but damn it, I need to find out what the fuck is going on.

I know someone (not a Tory) who knew him, and said he is a very modest, polite and straightforward man.

I met him once, he was very nice and personable and surprisingly a lot taller and broader than I imagined he would be.

These cunts is where you get your duel nature not religion
Get rid of saying to yourself "i have sinned" when you think of something from years ago or just only something from yesterday because automatically you feel bad.
Just say to yourself "i made an error" and you don't have bad vibes about whatever it is.

"Fact is our starting point" says Aristotle while Plato was a dreamer mystic type.
Everybody is either a Platonist or an Aristotelian.


Raphael was a Aristotle for doing up the pope's new liberty with this beauty. :)
