pjthompsonRandom quote of the day:
"Nature alone is antique, and the oldest Art a mushroom."
—Thomas Carlyle, Sartor Resartus
(Super Mario may have eaten this one, but you should probably leave it alone. It's poisonous.)

Sartor Resartus is very strange. I kind of liked it, had to read it for a class ages ago, but quite a lot of it is high bombast, creaky language, and weird Victorian ironic humor.
