You always meet twice..
A smart man once said "You always meet twice in life". So watch out: Whatever you do, wherever you go, be careful what you (je-)wish for, because....
... you always meet twice in life.
... you always meet twice in life.
Pensees 1
Is it reasonable to become intolerant of intolerance.
--Alexis Charles de Noblecourt, Pensees--
There is no business like shoah business.
--Philip Roth, Operation Shylock--
There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one's safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions. Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn't, but if he was sane he had to fly them. If he flew them he was crazy and didn't have to; but if he didn't want to he was sane and had to. Yossarian was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of this clause of Catch-22 and let out a respectful whistle.

A painful discovery
Disappointing, unbelievable, shameful, scandalous, in other words, a travesty. What is there not to like about Portnoy's complaint? How can the utterance of "I really did not like it" be anything less than a pointless provocation? How could it be anything more than an inaccuracy ? Harry G. Frankfurt has attempted to describe this specie of pointless polemic by remarking that of all things, those that we know the least about are ourselves and thus, sincerity is bullshit. This proves the statement of distaste as an inaccuracy.
No wonder why, in light of all this, he could not tolerate listening to Frankfurt while pretending to work; why he had to retaliate by playing a highly offensive brand of smooth jazz all this with the satisfied grin of one who knew the validity of his taste (cf. bullshit above).
