"THERE DO EXIST ENQUIRING MINDS, which long for the truth of the heart, seek it, strive to solve the problems set by life, try to penetrate to the essence of things and phenomena and to penetrate into themselves. If a man reasons and thinks soundly, no matter which path he follows in solving these problems, he must inevitably arrive back at himself, and begin with the solution of the problem of what he is himself and what his place is in the world around him. For without this knowledge, he will have no focal point in his search. Socrates’ words, “Know thyself” remain for all those who seek true knowledge and being."

Ostrich

a conversation between King Snake and Lalo
from Lalo the Snake Catcher

"S: Lalo
L: Yes?
S: Is it true that ostriches bury their heads in the ground when they are afraid?
L: No, Snake, it is not. When an ostrich suspects danger is near it drops to the ground and stretches it neck straight out on it. From there it watches the perceived danger very intently and when it thinks the danger is too close, it runs away with great speed.

S: Hmmm… I wonder what an ostrich tastes like.
L: Probably like chicken my dear."
