"He who quotes others lacks the ability to think for himself."

About Me
- Name: Horace Jeffery Hodges
- Location: Seoul, South Korea
I'm currently employed full time at Ewha Womans University, teaching courses on essay composition, research papers, and cultural issues. In the autumn 2008 semester, I also taught a graduate seminar on Gnosticism and Johannine theology, a real treat for me since I had long wanted to teach about my doctoral research area. My doctorate actually is in history, technically in history of science at U.C. Berkeley, but my thesis is on John's gospel and Gnostic texts. I've gone from the Arkansas Ozarks through Texas, California, Switzerland, Germany, Australia, and Israel to South Korea. I've traveled to Mexico, Belgium, Holland, East Germany, England, France, Denmark, Austria, Czechoslovakia (before it split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia), Russia, Italy, Japan, Singapore, and Scotland. Hence: "Gypsy Scholar."

But that's a quote!
Fortunately, I'm quoting myself.
I'm not just naughty, I'm dense as well!
Well, that's okay, 'cause I'm neither a philosopher nor very wise.
But I might be an ever-clever liar...
...and definitely witty
See my last post at Seven Roads on the Aphoristic Style, I think a good rationale. (Yes, it's a quote.)
Greg, I followed the link in your link and found this at Scholar Island:
"Borrowed thoughts, like borrowed money, only show the poverty of the borrower." -Marguerite Gardiner
Well worth quoting . . . I think.
Love it. Can I quote your quote of your quote?
Sure, Randy, if you quote me on it.
If I could figure out how to do it, I would tip my cap to you in a self-referring link that would just open a new window of the same link every time you clicked it.
You mean like this?
I suspected you were an evil genius after this post. Your response to Mr. Mcroberts proves it!
Ah, James, if only it were true, but I fear that I'm just a tiny bit evil and no genius at all.
You are good, man.
