Nice quote. Reminds me of the Gnostic maxim of "Listen to those who seek truth; avoid those who claim they found it."
Hi there! Just wanted to say it's good to see you back online. I used to love reading your reports and had read each one of them as you always struck me as being very different from the average community PUA. It was a very pleasant surprise to see some new posts from your blog in Google reader today.
All the best for your future journeys and endeavours ..
