This is mycommon placejournal. It's mostly for me, but feel free to look around. I write down thoughts, quotes, and ideas that I find, essentially just a stream ofconsciousness.

[I]ntuition can lead to no action until it is limited in some way or other. You cannot do simply good to simply Man; you must do this or that good to this or that man. And if you do this good, you can't at the same time do that; and if you do it to these men, you can't also do it to those

[W]e may have a duty to rescue a drowning man and, perhaps, if we live on a dangerous coast, to learn lifesaving so as to be ready for any drowning man when he turns up. It may be our duty to lose our own lives in saving him. But if anyone devoted himself to lifesaving in the sense of giving it his total attention he would become a monomaniac. The rescue of a drowning man is, then, a duty worth dying for, but not worth living for.
