“Any effort in philosophy to make the obscure obvious is likely to be unappealing, for the penalty of failure is confusion while the reward of success is banality.

—Nelson Goodman (b. 1906)

in a man
who’s valued for his learning
is desirable,
but I’m shamed
by even love
in a person
who’s reviled by others.”
