i don't value erudition, because i believe that that which is wide is inevitably shallow, since our mental resources are limited. at least, mine are very much so!

that's fine with me - as long as i don't see Escher in my nightmares, i don't mind

He didn't do many naughty nuggets though. The mind boggles at what he might've come up with if he did...

Actually, there's more than I expected. This one's quite nice...
