 * [3] And again he begat children by Earth, to wit, the Titans as they are named: Ocean, Coeus, Hyperion, Crius, Iapetus, and, youngest of all, Cronus; also daughters, the Titanides as they are called: Tethys, Rhea, Themis, Mnemosyne, Phoebe, Dione, Thia.1
 * 1 Compare Hes. Th. 132ff. who agrees in describing Cronus as the youngest of the brood. As Zeus, who succeeded his father Cronus on the heavenly throne, was likewise the youngest of his family （Hes. Th. 453ff.）, we may conjecture that among the ancient Greeks or their ancestors inheritance was at one time regulated by the custom of ultimogeniture or the succession of the youngest, as to which see Folk-Lore in the Old Testament, i.429ff. In the secluded highlands of Arcadia, where ancient customs and traditions lingered long, King Lycaon is said to have been succeeded by his youngest son. See Apollod. 3.8.1.

Quotes

 * Lucan's take on some guy name of Caesar crossing the Rubicon to duke it out with a volcano -- maybe I have that wrong, but you'll need to read the book to find out. &mdash; Review of Lucan's Pharsalia found on Amazon.com
 * The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary. &mdash; James D. Nicoll
 * He thought he saw an argument / That proved he was the Pope: / He looked again and found it was / A Bar of Mottled Soap. &mdash; Lewis Carroll, Sylvie and Bruno: "The Mad Gardener's Song".
 * Crossing a bare common / at twilight in February / under a cloudy sky / without any warning / I have enjoyed a perfect exhilaration / I am glad to the brink of fear. &mdash; This unattributed "quote", found posted on my office bulletine board, yellowed with age, in my handwriting, which as it happens, exactly describes my own crossing of a park in winter, when I was a romantic youth, is apparently an "improvement" by someone (me?) of a bit of prose from Ralph Waldo Emerson's, Nature: Chapter I.
 * IMHO the use of the word "troll" on Wikipedia, should be avoided. It is not well defined and not well understood, hence for the most part, it simply results in being used or understood as a generic insult like "asshole". (Paul August, 20:34, 29 January 2007 (UTC))
 * On Infoboxes:
 * A box promises to contain, and things that can't be neatly contained can't be put in boxes. A box suggests "this is the real deal," and if the real deal could be put in a box, then there would be no need for articles. A box says, "Here is your PowerPoint bullet point list, so you can find all the world reduced to a reductive summary; please do not strive to understand complexity, for that is for suckers." A box says, "Wikipedia is just like your primary school text book: full of colors and 'bites' of infotainment." A box says, "I, the box maker, have just pissed all over this article and written a counter-article, and it's short, so read it instead." A box may be found useful by some people, indeed. We call those people "non-readers." (Utgard Loki, 16:47, 28 March 2008 (UTC))
 * A box aggressively attracts the marginally literate eye with apparent promises to contain a reductive summary of information that can't be neatly contained. Like a bulleted list, or a timeline that substitutes for genuine history, it offers a competitive counter-article, stripped of nuance. As a substitute for accuracy and complexity a box trumps all discourse. (Wetman, 23:52, 8 April 2008 (UTC))
 * Here are some reasons why I disagree with including an infobox in this article: (1) The box emphasizes unimportant factoids stripped of context and lacking nuance, such as "Death Place", in competition with the WP:LEAD section which emphasizes and contextualizes the most important facts. (2) Since the most important points about the article are already discussed in the Lead, or adequately discussed in the body of the article, the box is redundant. (3) It takes up valuable space at the top of the article and hampers the layout and impact of the Lead. (4) Frequent errors creep into infoboxes, as updates are made to the articles but not reflected in the redundant info in the box, and they tend to draw more vandalism and fancruft than other parts of articles. (5) The infobox template creates a lot of code near the top of the edit screen that discourages new editors from editing the article. (6) It discourages readers from reading the article. (7) It distracts editors from focusing on the content of the article. Instead of improving the article, they spend time working on this repetitive feature and its coding and formatting. See also WP:DISINFOBOX. (Ssilvers, 18:33, 1 August 2016 (UTC))

Verse
For quality Paul may be crazed, but in conflict is mostly unfazed&mdash; and, too, pretty swell for one who can't tell his mug from his chocolate glazed!


 * Mindspillage

After math is crazy Paul This is known by us all

He may dream of Ancient Greece But just numbers give him peace

Neither Caesar, neither Kate Are too stong to change his fate

But don't worry, have some rum And enjoy the year to come
