*Curtsies* I once went to a bar in Iowa that had a cocktail called the Hemingway and when I asked what was in it the bartender told me it was just straight rail vodka in a pint glass. Frankly I don’t think I’m going to top that.

Knowledge is knowing that Frankenstein is not the monster.

Wisdom is knowing that Frankenstein is the monster.

I said many ignorant people nowadays thought ‘Frankenstein’ was the name of the monster, and not of the scientist who created him.
Mary Shelley said, ‘That’s not so ignorant after all. There are two monsters in my story, not one. And one of them, the scientist, is indeed named Frankenstein.’ 

(Kurt Vonnegut)

It makes you want to give Mary Shelley a high five. I’m glad she knew how brilliant she was all along.
