Versio Latina: Humpty Dumpty

Carmen De Humpti Dumptii Obitu

Sedebat Humptus Dumptius

Olim in summo muro
Cecedit Humptus Dumptius

Casu damnose duro

Cui Caesaris praefecti tum

Equique adfuerunt

Sed lapsum Humptum Dumptium

Sarcire nequierunt

"What matters most in life isn't how much money you have. It's about easily digestible quotes that tell you what life is about"

— A.Z. Foreman

"People suck, therefore literature"

—Ralph Dumain

"Condescension, and thinking oneself no better, are the same. In adapting to the weakness of the oppressed one confirms in that weakness the prerequisite for domination, and develops in oneself the degree of coarseness, insensibility and brutality, needed to exercise it."

(Herablassung und sich nicht besser Dünken sind das Gleiche. Durch die Anpassung an die Schwäche der Unterdrückten bestätigt man in solcher Schwäche die Voraussetzung der Herrschaft und entwickelt selber das Maß an Grobheit, Dumpfheit und Gewalttätigkeit, dessen man zur Ausübung der Herrschaft bedarf.)

— Theodor Adorno, Minima Moralia

A half truth is worse than a whole lie

(אַ האַלבער אמת איז ערגער פון אַ גאַנצן ליגן)

—Yiddish Proverb

There is no such thing as the State

And no one exists alone;

Hunger allows no choice

To the citizen or the police;

We must love one another or die.

— W.H. Auden

I am the voice of one cracking jokes in the wilderness
