More From David Hume

Towns are full of people, houses full of tenants, hotels full of guests, trains full of travelers, cafés full of customers, parks full of promenaders, consulting-rooms of famous doctors full of patients, theatres full of spectators, and beaches full of bathers. what previously was, in general, no problem, now begins to be an everyday one, namely, to find room.

Love is reckless; not reason. reason seeks a profit. loves comes on strong, consuming herself unabashed. yet in the midst of suffering love proceeds like a millstone, hard surfaced and straight forward. having died to self interest, she risks everything and asks for nothing. love gambles away every gift god bestows. without cause god gave us being; without cause give it back again. gambling yourself away is beyond any religion. religion seeks grace and favor, but those who gamble these away are god's favorites, for they neither put god to the test nor knock at the door of gain and loss.

I do think that republicans are flirting with their tax cut, which has always been the narcotic of republicans, that they in fact have to at some point, with any remote pretense of candor, abandon any pretense of a balanced budget.i mean, they talk about - because they are going to finance the tax cut by tax cuts. that's how they're going to do it. and i do think that the will is there right now in the congress to act. i think they will be as close to unity as you will see on capitol hill this year.

What does it mean for a painter to paint in the manner of so-and-so or to actually imitate someone else? what's wrong with that? on the contrary, it's a good idea. you should constantly try to paint like someone else. but the thing is, you can't! you would like to. you try. but it turns out to be a botch... and it's at the very moment you make a botch of it that you're yourself.
