Question of the day: #1 What is your biggest regret? My biggest regret, truthfully? Not risking to believe in the good of the people around me for fear of getting hurt by their lack of it. Wait a minute... Actually, fuck that. I guess I have zero regrets. #nihilistaf

The end of truth. Here the professor implores us to look not at what a speaker says, but at what he or she might have intended to say, but chose instead not to. Remember also not to be equally charitable to all speakers, as some of them are to be taken quite literally.

Of course that’s what his words meant. But equally of course, it’s entirely implausible to think it’s what he meant to say. We should be capable of seeing that, and saving our outrage for intentional lies.

"The greatest service we can do to education today is to teach fewer subjects. No one has time to do more than a very few things well before he is twenty, and when we force a boy to be a mediocrity in a dozen subjects, we destroy his standards, perhaps for life.” #CSLewis

A German once told me, we complain because we care, because we hope things will improve. Germany taught me a lot. Hence, I and many others care. #MeTwo

"Sometimes I feel discriminated against, but it does not make me angry. It merely astonishes me. How can anyone deny themselves the pleasure of my company? It's beyond me." #MeTwo

Karl Jaspers on the lessons of Nazism: "That which has happened is a warning. To forget it is guilt. It must be continually remembered. It was possible for this to happen, and it remains possible for it to happen again at any minute. Only in knowledge can it be prevented."
