To be truly élite I wouldn't fly with other people. Tom Send a noteboard - 20/06/2010 02:05:54 PM
A private plane or luxury liner would be the height of élitism. However, I'm just trying to be élitist at present. To be truly élite is something that takes more time. I'm working on it, to be certain, but my goals in this post were somewhat more limited.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Ummaka qinnassa nīk!

I thought as much. Rebekah - 18/06/2010 11:28:18 PM 971 Views

How is reading Taschen's Caravaggio pretentious or elitist? Except for the price. I guess Tashmere - 19/06/2010 01:14:34 AM 1057 Views
