"Life is a sky-dive: out of a cunt, into the grave."

”You cannot choose not to have the politics you do; they are not some separate of entities somehow detachable from the rest of your being; they are a function of your existence.”

@EgyptianAphorist I needed this one right now:

I'm usually not a big fan of aphorisms but this one's actually pretty well thought of.

Despair is nothing more than anaphylactic shock in those persons especially susceptible to the sting of Hope.

Ooh, ooh, fortune cookies!! I love fortune cookie aphorisms!

Triggered by a nice one by @Ekelbert , https://chaos.social/@Ekelbert/110804545292518669 I'd love to hear your favourite or most hated, beautiful or weird ones, real or made up, photo or text.

I'll start with one I find totally useless but can't forget and always recite when I'm stumped: "A good horse is like a family member"

@abasu @VCP
🥥 I've gone through several stages in life, Anupam.
As a callow lad, I wanted to be an aphorist when I grew up.
Then my dreams were shattered when I was informed that I would first need to obtain worldly fame and write great works about my fame from which my #aphorisms could be drawn.
If I am understanding you correctly, though, I can now realize my life's ambition merely by using an #LLM!
Perhaps I shall dwell among the living yet a while longer.
Thank YOU. 🥥

People are either too stupid to know they're too stupid or smart enough to know they're not smart enough.
Only the first have the confidence to act.

Caveat: 주인 보태줄 나그네 없다

I found this aphorism in my book of Korean aphorisms.

The supportive guest does not exist.

All guests become a liability to their host. This seems similar in meaning to the aphorism attribed to Ben Franklin, "Guests, like fish, begin to smell after three days."
