Vacation

I'll be on vacation for the next ten days, and probably won't have much time to blog.

In the meantime, I thought I'd leave everyone with a few random quotes. Even though these jingles have embedded themselves in my brain, I don't really pretend to understand any of them. Your thoughts, as always, are much appreciated.

"To say that we should drop the idea of truth as out there waiting to be discovered is not to say that we have discovered that, out there, there is no truth."
-Richard Rorty

"The psychology which explains everything/explains nothing"
-Marianne Moore

"The final belief is to believe in a fiction, which you know to be a fiction, there being nothing else."
-Wallace Stevens

"The brain is just the weight of God."
-Emily Dickinson
