Splash du Jour: Thursday

There is in every village a torch – the teacher:
and an extinguisher – the clergyman.

-- Victor Hugo

Have a great Wednesday!

  1. Cip,

    Very controversial and edgy quote. You could casue a riot by saying that in some places.

    I like it! :)

  2. Yeah. Agreed.
    The fact that it could start a riot points to the fact that the statement itself contains a whole lot of truth.
    The riot would not be started by people that were having a good time in the first place.
    What clergyman ever existed, that encouraged the masses to engage in higher dimensions of enjoyment in this earthly life, which is [let's face it] all that we know, of what it is to live?
