Wish I hadn't. Then it would have been you who got one-upped by Subrosa


"Vision without execution is a hallucination"

-Thomas Edison

"Good judgement comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgement." - unknown

That was Guild Commander Gaius "Pappy" Vitellus, of the Bravil Fighters Guild...

I think I may have friend SubRosa beat by almost two years. I meet her Sep 2012 post and raise it by this quote from Episode 33 of Buffy's Book 1 posted here in Sep 2010 -

*

I vividly recalled what Kud-Ei had said: "Buffy, something is different about you. I see sadness in your eyes. . . and something else. I do not know what happened to you this last time you were out of town, and I am sure I probably do not want to know. They say wisdom comes from experience - and experience comes from bad judgment. Somehow, it looks like you have discovered that for yourself. Your eyes show a quiet wisdom, and the scars of one who has paid for it. The wisdom is quite attractive on you, but I hope the scars will fade." Kud-Ei had then smiled and gently placed her hand on my cheek. "I believe you have grown up, my Apprentice."

*

Now, that said, I did not invent the quote. I first heard from a an old aviator way back when I was a young aviator. Sage counsel methinks, and most appropriate for both Pappy and Kud-Ei to share.

Well if we are all going to quote from our fics:


“There once was an old male Khajiit
Whose sword hung down to his feet
When his barbs would grow
They would stab his toe…”

I read it in my email notifications, and thought you posted that in response to SubRosa's,

"We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power. Pure power."

-George Orwell (from the book 1984)

Anonymous male author:

Now that I am old and gray, and time is running out;
What used to be my sex appeal is now my water spout!

"You are old, Father William," the young man said,
"And your hair has become very white;
And yet you incessantly stand on your head—
Do you think, at your age, it is right?"

"In my youth," Father William replied to his son,
"I feared it might injure the brain;
But now that I'm perfectly sure I have none,
Why, I do it again and again."

Lewis Carroll.
