apologies for the lack of updates (and I encourage more from others!); between holidays and my birthday, I've been busy.

But I am plotting a few more designs. And am currently accepting requests; let's say first five or so to comment, tell me what you want and I will try to make it

Ayn Rand - The Fountainhead (specifically Howard Roark) :)

[beyond_pale]

is there a certain associated illustrator/film still/quote I should try to hunt down and incorporate?

I managed to never actually read Ayn Rand, despite being all philosophy-major-y.

Definitely read The Fountainhead and try to catch the movie on TCM - I love the main character!

okay; i'm fairly certain my roommate has a copy of the novel I can steal. Gary Cooper, yum. And I heart Patricia Neal...must....hunt...down...movie.

Request: how about something Wittgensteinian: "Philosophy is a battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language."

Or: "To show the fly the way out of the fly bottle."

Or: "Someone who, dreaming, says 'I am dreaming', even if he speaks audibly in doing so, is no more right than if he said in his dream "it is raining", while it was in fact raining. Even if his dream were actually connected with the noise of the rain."

Or Kant: "Human reason has this peculiar fate that in one species of its knowledge it is burdened by questions which, as prescribed by the very nature of reason itself, it is not able to ignore, but which, as transcending all its powers, it is also not able to answer."

Too long, I know.

I would like an Ayn Rand icon too. I would like one with the following quote--

"Contradictions do not exist. Whenever you think you are facing a contradiction, check your premises. You will find that one of them is wrong."

Thank you!!

[beyond_pale]

yeay! I was so shocked there wasn't something like it, I'm becoming really glad I took it upon myself to make one!

Science is what you know. Philosophy is what you don't know.

Thanx in advance!
