Only if you waste her time, Benji.
Be a good puppy now.
ME???? Waste someone's time???? I would never do that! I am a serious, succinct poster, who in all situations analyzes and rephrases all statements to expedite their legibility. To quote from Shakespeare,
This fellow is wise enough to play the fool;
And to do that well craves a kind of wit:
He must observe their mood on whom he jests,
The quality of persons, and the time,
And, like the haggard, cheque at every feather
That comes before his eye. This is a practise
As full of labour as a wise man's art
For folly that he wisely shows is fit;
But wise men, folly-fall'n, quite taint their wit.
- 12th night, Act 3, scene 1.
Moliere, in a distinct contradiction, however said:
You say that because you are in a passion; but you are too fond of men; upon my word, you would all look as black as thunder if the devil were to take them all away
- Amphitryon, Act 2, scene 5
Goethe, however, poses the most interesting conundrum:
"What you don't feel, you will not grasp by art,
Unless it wells out of your soul
And with sheer pleasure takes control,
Compelling every listener's heart.
But sit - and sit, and patch and knead,
Cook a ragout, reheat your hashes,
Blow at the sparks and try to breed
A fire out of piles of ashes!
Children and apes may think it great,
If that should titillate your gum,
But from heart to heart you will never create.
If from your heart it does not come."
- Faust I
These quotes are entirely irrelevant, but they prove my point that in cunjunction with copying and pasting, I wasted less of my time writing this than you will have spent reading it.
Wait, was that my point?
Yours,
benji
