'Be careful what you pretend to be because you are what you pretend to be.'
Never been a big Vonnegut fan, but I love this line of his
We live in hope ππΌ
I'd love to visit Ukraine. Never been there. But first, Im dying to see Armenia and Georgia
In an ideal state (The Republic), Plato thought all babies should be separated from their mothers, then nursed by other women, so that the infant's loyalty is to the state rather than the family. It has nothing to do with the quote, but I thought I'd mention it.

It all sounds like theatre to me. I find it hard to listen to anyone famous and take them seriously. Can't even read news anymore, which is actually a positive thing. All the world's a stage, and we ourselves are playing many roles too.
Worry is a symptom of too much concern for the future. Too much concern for the past or for the future is best avoided. We have to live in the present to be truly happy.
I found this one the other night, and it took me right back to my raving days. Dunno if it's your cup of tea. I loved it! It got me dancing in my shed like I was still 18

The whole course studies the phrases and forms we find in The #SecretHistory by #DonnaTartt. I think this is the best book I have read for at least a decade (OK, except Chekhov, who is incredible), and the language it contains is #PERFECT for #Advanced #Students. Here is the first class that deals with the #tenses used in the prologue:

CAN in capital letters looks big, but is it convincing? Please explain what regulations you are concerned about. I advise you to sell your Bitcoin if you believe what you have written, because if powerful actors CAN control it, they WILL. Personally, I see that Bitcoin is more powerful than Michael Saylor, or Keir Starmer, or Donald Trump, or Vladimir Putin. These people are just men. They are not ubermensch.
He's irrelevant if I want to spend BTC. He can't stop me. Powerful politicians attempted to stop me taking payments from Russian citizens, and they failed miserably, thanks to the mighty BTC, which is not under their (or Saylor's) control. That's precisely why I love BTC
Just use it as money as often as possible, and let Saylor say whatever he wants. He's irrelevant, because he can't stop anyone using a peer-to-peer electronic cash system
A list of two items does NOT require a comma.
E.g. I bought apples and oranges
I love Oxford commas, and anyone not using them is asking for trouble. The comma before the AND in my sentence is splitting 2 main clauses. It is not an Oxford comma.
Where can I find your book? Have you got a link? I'm always interested in what people are writing.
You are gonna have to be more careful now that you know your posts will be scrutinized, inspected, and corrected.
