Dizzy On Lemonade

THOSE-LEMONADE-PEOPLE. Eating cola nuts. High on koffein. And dried äpfel. Put your private socks on and dance the blues. Na nástupištích.V prázdných lednicích, 
pohlednicích, co nikdo neposlal. "You think so low of yourself you express yourself in a way your favourite people do."

Do not (over) sleep. There is no DELETE for you to press.
Naked people floating in their cosy jumpers. 

Who needs lipstick if you have red wine.

For no rational creature can be supposed to change his condition with an intention to be worse.

Thus I live in the world rather as a spectator of mankind, than as one of the species, by which means I have made myself a speculative statesman, soldier, merchant, and artisan, 
without ever meddling with any practical part in my life. The Spectator, No.1. p.3-4  


I know no evil under the sun so great as the abuse of the understanding, yet there is no one vice more common. It has diffused itself through both sexes and all qualities of mankind, and there is hardly that person to be found, who is not more concerned for the reputation of wit and sense, than of honesty and virtue. But this unhappy affectation of being wise rather than honest, witty than good-natured, is the source of most of the ill habits of life. Such false impressions are owing to the abandoned writings of men of wit, and the aukward imitation of the rest of mankind. The Spectator, No.6. p.25-27
