Thanks to CF, I stumbled upon this interesting link -- i never thought textbook quotes could be so applicable to present life. Minsan kasi alam na natin but it might take a Voltaire to remind us. Haha. O kaya minsan naman, di applicable sa buhay mo pero nakakatuwang pag-isipan.
Check this out...
1. Work saves us from three great evils: boredom, vice and need.
Thank God I've never been actually bored in the past four months! But I plead guilty to smoking a tad more sticks than I usually would on workless days. :-P
2. The secret of being a bore is to tell everything.
My conclusion: if you want to get someone interested in you, keep him/her guessing. Everyone's a curious cat...and most people love mysteries.
It's one thing to know the principle, though. But to execute it is something short of an art for an open-book like yours truly. Haha!
3. It is one of the superstitions of the human mind to have imagined that virginity could be a virtue.
Amazing! For a classical guy Voltaire was quite liberal. Kung lahat lang ng lalake ganyan din mag-isip!
4. Anything that is too stupid to be spoken is sung.
A big OUCH for all the love songs ever written. Obviously hindi mahilig si Voltaire sa music...but then again, parang stupid naman din minsan ang konsepto ng love.
5. Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.
Hmm...talaga? That makes me feel better. :-)
6. God created sex. Priests created marriage.
Haha! You gotta love this guy.
7. It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong.
Hear, hear, GMA!
8. Judge a man by his questions rather than by his answers.
Anong nauna, manok o itlog? Bow ako sa taong unang nagtanong nyan. Wehehe.
9. Originality is nothing but judicious plagiarism.
Just as creativity is nothing but the capability to tweak what's already been done.
10. Life is thickly sown with thorns, and I know no other remedy than to pass quickly through them. The longer we dwell on our misfortunes, the greater is their power to harm us.
I should have this one printed out and glued to my forehead!
11. A witty saying proves nothing.
True. Cause nothing can actually prove anything. Everything's a theory! Truth is a matter of whose perpective you're adapting! Sabay ginawa ni Lord ang itlog at manok!
Haha. I wonder if Voltaire did get to apply his theories to his personal life. With the extra time in my hands i might be able to look into that one of these days. Wahoo.
In a matter of an hour the first-ever drama episode of Qpids is going to air...i'm excited. Sana napull-through ang konsepto. :-)

Hahaha! Cool to know you found the link interesting enough to follow and even comment on. :)
Oh, and I really enjoyed the Qpids Drama Special. Of course there are a few strange quirks to the story because of the death angle, but I found it so great how bits and pieces from all the previous episodes were used in it. Astig! hahaha!
Obviously, I loved the JaRla scenes, as well as Carla's scenes with Mikel and Paw.
Looking forward to finding out who the killer is (assuming there's actually one)!
hey cf! glad you enjoyed last episode. here's hoping that when part 2 airs, all the pieces will fit together for you. :-) hope you find time to go to heartbreak sunday sometime :-)
Heard about the ratings! Congratulations!! :D Woohoo!
Yup, yup! Looking forward to next week's episode.
I also hope to one day actually attend a Heartbreak Sunday before the show ends. But for now, mukhang malabo...
