Aphorism/Aforisma #35

The only rigor befitting prigs, and stiffs is rigor mortis.

Aphorism #31

Women are like monuments. You can admire their beauty, size, or ugliness from afar, and you don't really want to take one home with you.

(Le donne sono come i monumenti. Puoi ammirare la loro bellezza, dimensione o bruttezza da lontano, e non vuoi portartene una a casa davvero.)

Aphorism #29

Amo la sincerità.
Forse per questo preferisco gli insulti all'adulazione.

I love sincerity.
Maybe that's why I prefer insults to flattery.

Serietà (Aforisma #30)

La serietà è come una di quelle malattie un po' imbarazzanti: una candida, o un herpes simplex analis.

(Seriousness is like one of those slightly embarrassing diseases: candidiasis, or herpes simples analis)

Aphorism* #27

Some have the most childish notion of what it is to be an adult.

*PS: note (mostly to myself): we love so much to be sententious and pretend we're speaking immutable, immortal truths. Please, indulge me.

PPS: I know, only lunatics talk, let alone write, to themselves.

PPPS: Ok, I know, I know, I'll stop now!

Education enables telling morons apart; failing that, it becomes indoctrination (*).

Aphorism #16

You cannot teach independence, you just ought to stop being a crutch.
