Be nobody's poodle !

It is at least as bad to borrow
someone else's nihilism
as to accept the flapdoodle
of brainwashing optimism.

"The uttering of metaphysical declarations 
is the function of monks, degenerates and the indigent."
~ Emile Cioran

    Cioran meant that in a complimentary manner, though.

    Yes, I know - but he was also being (self-) ironic by using those terms, n'est-ce pas ?

    I'll take auban's fabulous rhyme-scheme over Emile's utterings any time.
    I added flapdoodle to my otherwise deprived vocabulary.
