[EkyannusIII]

Sinners praise in others the virtues they find least threatening to themselves.

[EkyannusIII]

The fanatic contracts all value into a singular point; because of this he exceeds all men in his pragmatism.

[Callan S.]

Sinners praise in others the virtues they find least threatening to themselves.

Indeed, this is why it is most profitable (and flattering) to dispense the label of sinner.

Callan, I'm going to marry (restaurant term for combine foodstuff of the same type, strangely enough) Epigrafts & Aphallisums with this thread, if that's alright with you (considering you are 100% of the aphorisms in that thread) - it would a move from the Writing subforum on old SA to Misc. here...

[Callan S.]

The dirtier you are, the cleaner they'll learn to call you.

It's easy to give understanding when it doesn't involve giving any resources

*Grinding my teeth about someone I know who, having been burnt in a relationship, seems to be reposting on facebook some crap mens rights pictures. Funny how you can exploit people precisely because they were exploited*

Because I lean, I am more significant - the irony is I have to stop in order to make a significant point!

Bitterness - It's the catalyst as to why we end up doing or condoning things that, given a better deal in life, we wouldn't have done or condoned.

I've been thinking up entires for Encyclopaedia Ex Nihilo and since definitions are aphoristic in nature and cultivating easy metaphors and analogies is an excellent reflex to develop as an aspiring writer I thought to create this thread.

Please, pollute it with all the heuristic expression you can muster !

I'm not sure what you mean?

That said:

It is not indiginity that chaffes and guts - it's when one carries the burden of indignity alone. When indignity becomes community, it becomes so wholey. This is why one aught always buy slaves in pairs.

I hope my communication doesn't suffer so much as to cloud such a concise title ...

Epigraphs & Aphorisms

Graft? Phallus?

Otherwise, metaphors and analogies are linguistic heuristics? Thus, heuristic expression?

Anyhow, regardless, you done right, Callan. I wish I had half the talent for general observation. I've abstained from people-watching most of my life, an altogether noble pursuit for the aspiring writer. EDIT: Grammar le suck. People-watching seems to enhance writing.

Keep 'em coming.

Just work on your bitterness, Mike! Soon enough you will see in people new things to have a grudge against! lol! Or atleast, have an agenda when looking...

Oh, an accountant near my daughters school has new inspirational sayings on a board outside. The latest is 'Shallow people believe in luck. Strong people believe in cause and effect'

Just thought that'd give a sour chuckle here at SA!

That's not bad. I like visual public spaces like that, though I often find that in context quotes are even better.
