Life is a game of chess, or rather a series of games. The moves are numbered, but the possibilities are virtually endless. The point is that everything matters. Even the tiniest decision you make will have an effect on future developments. And your game can be tactically brilliant, yet you can still lose because your strategy was weak. But then again, tactics can also prove very effective. The sheer number of decisions one is forced to make in life can be paralyzing. M A R I A , L I T T L E G R E E N B E E - E AT E R

Of course I think that I’m smarter than others. Does that make me arrogant or simply realistic? People who read Chomsky and are proud of it make me sick. Of course I don’t say anything to that extent, I just refrain from getting involved in what they consider intellectual discourse. They probably assume I’m too simple­minded, but honestly, I couldn’t care less. Z D E N KO , R AV E N


Really, I would write something, but I’m really busy. Just this much: Darwinism is dead. C L AU D I A , G R E AT C R E S T E D G R E B E
