A Fresh Spate of Laeth's Aphorisms

Selected from the current iteration of Laeth's "blog": Trees and Triads 

the ease with which those of above average intelligence are manipulated into unfounded and dumbfounded optimism is a confirmation of my pessimism. and there isn't even pleasure, or pride, or fun in being right when the ruse is so obvious. 

any sufficiently serious optimism is indistinguishable from brain damage. 

never trust a man who proudly owns a 'smart' car 

hoping for the best is the primary sign that one is in fact a pessimist. otherwise, what need does one have of hope. 

many cannot fathom that there is such a thing as supernatural evil and that it has no master plan beyond defilement and destruction. a willful blindness. 

love is when every single one of your particles becomes quantum entangled with her particles. do you want to be quantum entangled with me, this is how i proposed to my wife.
