May your sleep be your death, and your wakefulness be your heaven.

Goodness is sparked by a caution for the sake of what is good, not a fear of what is bad.

He who searches for evil, must first look at his own reflection.

To err is to wander and wandering is the way we discover the world and lost in thought it is the also the way we discover ourselves. Being right might be gratifying but in the end it is static a mere statement. Being wrong is hard and humbling and sometimes even dangerous but in the end it is a journey and a story. Who really wants to stay at home and be right when you can don your armor spring up on your steed and go forth to explore the world True you might get lost along get stranded in a swamp have a scare at the edge of a cliff thieves might steal your gold brigands might imprison you in a cave sorcerers might turn you into a toad but what of what To fuck up is to find adventure: it is in the spirit that this book is written.

Most of us would rather risk a catastrophe than read the instructions.

One word of caution__e careful how much you listen to the advice of others when in a deep pit of despair.
