As a matter of selective necessity, man is an agent. He is, in his own apprehension, a centre of unfolding impulsive activity; "teleological activity."

By force of being such an agent, he is possessed of a taste for effective work, and a distaste for futile effort. ~Thorstein Veblen

I haven't told anyone this before, but when I was a teenager. I actually thought I was turning into a boy, and I did'nt really care. It did'nt bother me at all. ~Vivienne Westwood

The worthiest man to be known, and for a pattern to be presented to the world, he is the man of whom we have most certain knowledge.
