User talk:Liberlogos/Archive (A)


 * Welcome to my personal Wikipedian userpage! I have a blog!! Its deprecated, but I'm planning on geting back to it soon. See it, now! Also, do not forget that I love to hear from you! And I think exclamation marks are great, don't you?!  

Liberlogos, born in Quebec City, Quebec and brought up in the Quebec Beauce (there's a French one also) and in Trois-Rivières, the second oldest city north of the USA, is a Quebecois Wikipedian currently living in Montreal. He is present on the English, French, Spanish, Source, Quote & Commons Wikimedia sites, as well as Memory Alpha & Wikitravel. His first edit took place on May 31, 2004 and, as of September 2006, he has accomplished more than 10,000 edits (which can sometimes even scare himself).

Profile
Liberlogos is an enthusiast of arts, politics, psychology, cultures and nations of the world, and many other passions. He is a degree owner from the oh-so-prestigious Collège Brébeuf of Montreal and also proudly studied at the Séminaire Saint-Joseph (go check the great article; I wrote it!) of Trois-Rivières and Concordia University. He is right now at the Université du Québec à Montréal. He is a Quebecer, a citizen of the Americas and citizen of the world. He believes in radical compassion, nationalism with internationalism, in humanitarianism, feminism, atheism and socialist/social democratic left-wing politics. In jest, he also likes to write his description at the third person.

Username
Liberlogos is the combination of two elements. Logos is a Greek word meaning things like "word", "thought", "speech" and "reason". It represents one part of my interests and beliefs, one that is expressed thought my penchant for art, communication, knowledge, psychology and, well, Wikipedia. Liber can be used in Latin to refer to freedom. This represents my interest for cultures and their uniqueness that is expressed through freedom. It also evokes the principles of Wikipedia, as well as Dionysus, promoter of civilization, lover of peace, patron deity of the theater and god of wine.

Favorite quotes

 * Confieso que he vivido. ('I confess that I have lived', title of autobiography)
 * Pablo Neruda


 * There is a time when quiet courage and audacity become for a people, at the key moments of its existence, the only form of adequate caution. If it does not then accept the calculated risk of the great steps, it can miss its career forever, exactly like the man who is afraid of life.


 * Is it not in dreams however that are born most of the projects that are worth it?
 * René Lévesque


 * It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that things are difficult.
 * To be subjugated to oneself is the most afflicting of enslavements.
 * All cruelty springs from weakness.
 * Seneca


 * Let us cease our fratricidal struggles and let us unite.
 * You are but a colony ignored by the whole world, I offer you becoming a great people, respected and recognized amongst free nations. Men, women and children, the choice is yours; you can remain slaves in the state of colony, or become independent and free, amongst the other peoples that, with their powerful voices beckon you to the banquet of nations.
 * Honoré Mercier


 * Traduttore, traditore. ('translator, traitor')

 * Bill Maher


 * We, Christians, are in a sense spiritually semites.
 * Lionel Groulx (one of the better things he wrote)


 * Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear.
 * Thomas Jefferson


 * Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the roar of its many waters.
 * Frederick Douglass


 * The Dada philosophy is the sickest, most paralyzing and most destructive thing that has ever originated from the brain of man.

 * Charles Chaplin

 * Mahatma Gandhi


 * The aim of psychoanalysis is to relieve people of their neurotic unhappiness so that they can be normally unhappy.
 * The first human who hurled an insult instead of a stone was the founder of civilization.
 * Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility.
 * Sigmund Freud


 * Every time you get involved, it is a victory.
 * Paul Piché


 * Always acknowledge a fault. This will throw those in authority off their guard and give you an opportunity to commit more.
 * Mark Twain


 * I have come to the conclusion that politics are too serious a matter to be left to the politicians.
 * Charles de Gaulle


 * You see things and you say: "Why?". But I dream things that never were and I say: "Why not?". (play)
 * The reasonable man adapts himself to the world. The unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
 * Do not do unto others as you expect they should do unto you. Their tastes may not be the same.


 * Democracy is a system ensuring that the people are governed no better than they deserve.
 * George Bernard Shaw


 * The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd.
 * Bertrand Russel


 * If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it.
 * W. C. Fields


 * The major problems of the world today can be solved only if we improve our understanding of human behavior.
 * B. F. Skinner


 * Trust everybody, but cut the cards.
 * Finley Peter Dunne


 * In the battle of life, it is not the critic who counts; nor the one who points out how the strong person stumbled, or where the doer of a deed could have done better. The credit belongs to the person who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; who does actually strive to do deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotion, spends oneself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at worst, if he or she fails, at least fails while daring greatly. Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those timid spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.
 * Theodore Roosevelt
