How much of a geek does it make me...

... that part of me really wants to make a tattoo of the litany against fear? Maybe near one of my shoulderblades...

I am such a dork.

It's really kind of awesome, actually.

If you do that, your other shoulderblade needs this:

"It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of Sappho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains, stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion."

Good choice!

The Litany

I agree with Delta, it needs the companion piece on the other shoulder blade!

Hey, watch out for line three, the little death being a synonym for orgasm (in English and in French). If you're just going to tatt one line, it ought not be that one.

If it were up to me, kids would read the first three books of Dune in their political science classes. Also Asimov's Foundation series.

nothing wrong with that

Or you could do the beer litany. That's what I'm getting inked.

I must drink beer.
Beer is the mind killer.
Beer is the little death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my beer.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me, and when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
When the beer is gone, there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

Forget not that there is also a Litany of Beer:

I wish I could tattoo those words on the inside of my eyelids.

In all seriousness, though...it is a powerful piece of literature. Have you memorized it?

Naw...a dork is someone who installed this when it came out:

and who steams at the fact that it is no longer compatible with Firefox :)
