"To say 'I love you' one must first know how to...
Wonderful post from Letters of Note. In it, Ayn Rand sheds light on the meaning behind her famous line from The Fountainhead.
An excerpt:
A person who exists only for the sake of his loved one is not an independent entity, but a spiritual parasite. The love of a parasite is worth nothing.
The usual (and very vicious) nonsense preached on the subject of love claims that love is self-sacrifice....

After spending the day with my nieces and nephew, and in light of the spectacle at Penn State, I’m really, really glad this exists.
And I’m glad Lauren Perlow took the time to make it. To collect and display the hard evidence that there are people in this world who really do give a shit.
Well done.

You're never too young to start feeling old
An old friend referenced this at dinner last night:
Last month, Nevermind turned 19, which means Nirvana’s most popular album is nearly as old now as Woodstock was when the album was released on September 24, 1991.
