'Some of the best things in life happen while your sweating. Yeah, if you get too much of it and it gets old and stale, it turns pretty gross. But on a beautiful women? Intoxicating. If you could smell things like a vampire does, you'd know what I'm talking about. Most people mess it all up and drown themselves in perfume. Perfume can be good...Especially if you get one that goes with your chemistry. But you only need a hint. Mix about 20 percent of that with 80 percent of your own perspiration...Mmm.'

This nonsense is part of the huge fund of unreason on which the plans and schemes of optimists draw for their vitality. Nonsense confiscates meaning. It thereby puts truth and falsehood, reason and unreason, light and darkness on an equal footing. It is a blow cast in defence of intellectual freedom, as the optimists construe it, namely the freedom to believe anything at all, provided you feel better for it.","author":"Roger Scruton","tags":["academy","believe","darkness","debate","equal","falsehood","feel","feeling","freedom","heart","light","meaning","nonsense","optimism","optimists","plan","plans","public","reason","scheme","schemes","truth","unreason","vitality"],"id":140364,"author_id":"Roger+Scruton"},{"text":"It did occur to him that perhaps he’d gone to the wrong Academy – the guys in the Space Fleet always had more interesting stories to tell at the spaceport bars. You know, tales about the dude who got vaporized in a plasma accident in the engineering section, or the fella who got turned into a blob of weird space jelly by some alien virus – or the time someone flew a starship into an astor-field at warp four by mistake (they were still trying to find the black box on that one). The Imperial Space Fleet’s recruiting office sure didn’t go around advertising ‘Join up, see the universe, meet interesting aliens and die screaming’, but it was known there were risks involved. It was part of the job after all, and yet somehow, they still got recruits signing up in droves. Yes, indeedy – the stories were far more interesting than his – took a load of ore to Gorda, took a load of mining equipment back to Tordrazil. Took a load of Florpavian Flame-birds to a zoo on Deanna, took a load of machinery to Salus. Picked up and dropped off a few passengers on the way. Still, Florpavian Flame-birds were a risky cargo… and damned tricky to transport – which is probably the only reason he’d had any entertainment at all on the last trip.","author":"Christina Engela","tags":["academy","after","aliens","and","any","bars","birds","by","cargo","deanna","dropped","droves","engineering","find","flame","flew","florpavian","four","gone","gorda","got","had","imperial","indeedy","interesting","involved","it","job","know","machinery","of","off","office","one","recruits","risky","salus","screaming","section","see","some","somehow","someone","space","still","stories","sure","than","the","there","to","took","tordrazil","transport","trip","turned","universe","up","vaporized","virus","warp","way","were","which","yes","you"],"id":145323,"author_id":"Christina+Engela"},{"text":"I want to thank the Academy for its courage and generosity.","author":"Elia Kazan","tags":["generosity","want","academy "],"id":152100,"author_id":"Elia+Kazan"},{"text":"It’s okay.
