    GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

    Does it make you feel better that I am a pessimistic, sceptical, cynical, Machiavellian 15 year old?? Yet I am always optimistic about myself, not out of arrogance or naivety, but simply out of necessity, as living pessimistically is difficult unless you are like me, who is only pessimistic about everything else, such as the world and people around themselves.

    I got a confession. I pretended to be 49 because I'm only 12.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    So, with 80 votes, 55% of backroom responders report being between 15-25.

    That's an interesting shift from 5 years ago, when the average reported age here was 26-27. A much higher student population, it seems.
    Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

    18,
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
