Quote of The Day 4-10-13
"A lie may fool someone else, but it tells you the truth: you're weak"
Tom Wolfe
Big fan of honesty in case you were wondering. I mean, come on. What do lies and bullshit really achieve. It certainly succeeds in annoying others and causing hostility. Then again so can truth. But at least truth is indisputable.
Tom Wolfe (1931-) is an American author and journalist. He is associated with the New Journalism movement which emphasized objectivity. Wolfe became widely popular after the publication of The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, in which the author gives a spirited account of his experiences with Ken Kesey and The Merry Pranksters. His first novel Bonfire of The Vanities received much praise and is a personal favorite of mine.
