I think, therefore I am thinking. Ergo, someone is thinking. Ergo, "I" am "someone." And, gosh darn it, people like me!

Abraham Lincoln:
With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and his orphan -- to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations. But first, a little roo-roo.
Gertrude Stein:
A rose is a rose is a rose is a rose-rose, bo-bose, banana-fanna, fo-fose, fee-fie mo-mose, rose!
T.S. Eliot:
Let us go then, you and I, when the evening is spread out against the sky like a patient etherized upon a table with a ruptured hernia like you wouldn't believe.
God:
Let there be Brussels sprouts.
