about this journal
It's not the principles that kill you in the end, it's the books. - Michael Swanwick, The Iron Dragon's Daughter

What we cannot speak about we must pass over in silence. - Wittgenstein

Never express yourself more clearly than you think. - Niels Bohr

A labyrinthian man never looks for the truth, but only for his Ariadne. - Nietzsche

What else do you do with dark and sinister forces but play with them? - Deadlock, Khronicles of Khaos

There are three things that are real: God, human folly, and laughter. Since the first two pass our comprehension, we must do what we can with the third. - Valmiki, the Ramayana

If you want to tell the untold stories, if you want to give voice to the voiceless, you've got to find a language. Which goes for film as well as prose, for documentary as well as autobiography. Use the wrong language and you're dumb and blind. - Salman Rushdie

Even the oldest stories are new to somebody. - Neil Gaiman, The Kindly Ones

Perhaps Kafka laughed when he told stories... because one isn't always equal to oneself. - Primo Levi

When you set out for Ithaca, ask that your way be long. - Constantine Cavafy

"You can't do that", she said. "You can't have 'fairy tales' without 'fair'! And stuff you find out by determining what words are inside other words is never wrong. Now drink more tea." - Hitherby Dragons

On the 9th of April, I'll be reaching the pleasant and venerable age of 30, and not at all before time. So I should like you all to join me to celebrate the impending event on Saturday the 7th, here in Leytonstone.

Partners, friends, favourite snacks or drinks, and best wishes are all welcome. Pets only if they can behave off the leash and indulge in polite conversation. No presents, by request, and don't feel obliged to kill trees for cards on my account either, but any tokens of appreciation you do want to give will neither be rejected nor underappreciated.

Food will happen, and there will be crash space for anyone who doesn't mind sharing the living room. We're only a few minutes' walk from the Central Line, and proper directions will be provided on request.

If you can't make that date, it would be nice to see you anyway, and one thing I have plenty of is free time, so suggestions would be nice.
