The Sources of the Self is, if it is nothing else, at least a good source (ha!) of some interesting quotations:

The endless battle within me makes me like what acts without inward battling: that is why I like necessity & the laws of motion & the doings of dead matter generally … Life seems to me essentially passion, conflict, rage; moments of peace are brief and destroy themselves … All this is autobiography, not philosophy.

Bertrand Russell scripsit, in a letter; it is not indicated to whom.

Not that this will be visible to you tomorrow, but at present the front page of your blog is simply a white page with blue html titles and plain black text scrolling across the page. No sidebar, no nothin.

It looks great.

Right, because there are so many comments here it's hard to keep in mind the original post if they're off-topic.

No, no. I feel just terrible about having derailed the fascinating discussion of this post. Do, please, everybody, carry on.
