I've checked out a book called "The Story of Philosophy" by Will Durant and it looks to be very good. Little nutshellian sections about all or most of the most famous philosophers, telling a bit about their private lives as well as condensations of their main ideas. Annnnywhooo.... here's a quote that I hope will stir up a fire-storm of comments from you ennui-paralyzed folks
. It's by Arthur "Artie" Schopenhauer--->>>
"It is only a man whose intellect is clouded by his sexual impulse that could give the name of the 'fairer sex' to that under-sized, narrow-shouldered, broad-hipped, and short-legged race...".
As you can see, Arthur was a bit of a grump when it came to women! As for me, I'll go with : "She got ruby lips/ She got shapely hips, yeah/ Oh, she makes old Roy weep" [Last part may be wrong but it feels right to me!] By Roy Orbison
Anyway, this Schopenhauer also has some very interesting ideas about the "Will" of every human leading to unquenchable desires that in turn lead to life of Earth being a living Hell...
but for now I just want see if I can get a little fire-storm brewing here.

She's an artist
She don't look back"
