Tonight is a philosophy club meeting for me and at least two maybe three other guys. We get together once a quarter and discuss the works of the particular author we are focusing on. We have discussed Plato and are still working on Aristotle.

To perceive is to suffer
Misfortune shows those who are not really friends.
