A Thinking Reed

"Man is but a reed, the most feeble thing in nature, but he is a thinking reed" – Blaise Pascal

Quote of the day

What makes “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” interesting, to the extent that something that’s so fundamentally idiotic and soul-deadening can also be “interesting,” is what you might call its aesthetic and ontological ambivalence.

From Andrew O’Hehir’s review at Salon.

  1. Might this quote trigger Andrew Sullivan’s Poseur Alert?

    I’m trying to figure out what aesthetic and ontological ambivalence is. I think it means, “I don’t know if I’m pretty or ugly. Hell, I don’t know if I’m dead or alive!”
