"I am very annoyed. With all the positive reception this author has had, and with all the apparent promise of the first chapter, suddenly the second chapter turns into a kind of clunky, nonsensical, and largely unfunny bureaucracy farce, and now I don't know if I want to continue. I'm losing faith very quickly!" Aug 21, 2025 05:55PM

“Indescribably filthy jokes are perpetrated by a ventriloquist with the aid of a puppet.

(Quoted from the Bulletin of The Juvenile Protective Association, May 1921)”
Frederic Milton Thrasher

Heinrich Heine
“Seriousness shows itself more majestically when laughter leads the way.”
Heinrich Heine

Shěn Fù
“In laying out gardens, pavilions, wandering paths, small mountains of stone, and flower paintings, try to give the feeling of the small in the large and the large in the small, of the real in the illusion, and of the illusion in reality. Some things should be hidden and some should be obvious, some prominent and some vague. Arranging a proper garden is not just a matter of setting out winding paths in a broad area with many rocks; thinking that it is will only waste time and energy.”
Shen Fu, Six Records of a Floating Life

“Come back you silly woman I need your credit cards.”
Meredith Brosnan, Mr. Dynamite

Zhuangzi
“If you were to hide the world in the world, so that nothing could get away, this would be the final reality of the constancy of things.”
Zhuangzi
