Discussions
Sometimes, users and visitors to Aphorisms Galore! feel the urge to comment on something, or even to start a discussion on a brand new topic. Sometimes, those users and visitors are living breathing human beings and not spam robots. When that happens, their messages show up here. (Some messages from spam robots may also appear from time to time, but I try to make sure they don't.)

Civilization will bring progress to the humanity, which eventually will take us far from nature and bring us close to death. Remember Lisbon 1755.
