I don't know much about most of them.

Good habits formed at youth make all the difference.------Aristotle

Wow, a lot of Nietzsche Led Zeppelin fans here, I'm impressed.

I wonder how much The Rain Song plays in to this sentiment? Sort of Zep's comment on "amor Fati".

"My formula for greatness in a human being is amor fati: that one wants nothing to be different, not forward, not backward, not in all eternity. Not merely bear what is necessary, still less conceal it—all idealism is mendacity in the face of what is necessary—but love it."

This is the mystery of the quotient, Upon us all, upon us all a little rain must fall.

Ah yes, Nietzsche, the philosopher of the morally lazy. God forbid idealism...who wants to make a better world after all, that's just silly.

It's not that people don't want a better world IpMan, but in all honesty MOST people just want a better part of the world for themselves don't they?

I love both Hobbes and Locke, especially the social contract theory.
