This Blog has Moved

I just launched a new website and will from now on be blogging over there. I'll leave this site up for a while as I work out kinks, just so that old entries are still available. But all the new stuff will be here.

Quotes by Anders Nilsen (?)

“We are sorry about the way things turned out. We gave, in the phrasing of our words if not literally in the words themselves, the false impression that these pages might hold some small fragment, some slight fragrance of a greater truth. That there might be something here to be learned. Before we go any further the author of this cartoon wishes to make an apology. Such an impression was deliberately cultivated. It is a ruse. It is a lie. We are every bit as lost and afraid as children abandoned in a wood: every bit as lost as you.”
― Anders Nilsen
