Eddard20 is a current student at Sunset High School in Beaverton, Oregon.

About Me I am an engaged, diligent student dedicated to the Wikipedia pursuit of knowledge! In my spare time I love to read, write essays, listen to music, play guitar, and spend time with my dog. My Work on Wikipedia I mostly focus on content clarification for chemistry/history related articles. My recent endeavors include editing the Primordial Black Holes, Novo Amor, and Kingdom of Asturias articles.

Favorite Quotes
"A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies...The man who never reads lives only one." - George R.R. Martin

"Winter is coming." - George R.R. Martin

“In wars, boy, fools kill other fools for foolish causes.” - Robert Jordan

"Non-violence in its dynamic condition means conscious suffering. It does not mean meek submission to the will of the evil-doer, but it means the pitting of one’s whole soul against the will of the tyrant. Working under this law of our being, it is possible for a single individual to defy the whole might of an unjust empire to save his honour, his religion, his soul, and lay the foundation for that empire’s fall or its regeneration." - Mahatma Gandhi

"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived." - Henry David Thoreau

''“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles....The modern bourgeois society that has sprouted from the ruins of feudal society has not done away with class antagonisms. It has but established new classes, new conditions of oppression, new forms of struggle in place of the old ones."'' - Karl Marx

“Religion is the impotence of the human mind to deal with occurrences it cannot understand.” - Karl Marx
