Slightly off-topic, but still relevant: a great quote from Alain de Botton:
"Intimacy is the capacity to be rather weird with someone - and finding that that's ok with them."

- RollAHardSix 14y agoThat is now one of my favorite quotes of all time. What a great start to my day reading that.
- kunle 14y agoNot at all off-topic. Its spot on, and entirely relevant in this context. In general pretty fun to read something that captures something so fundamental. Wish there were more folks like joe peacock to say those words to the awkward 14 - 16 year olds we were. Would have alleviated the pain a little bit.
- personlurking 14y agoAlso slightly off-topic, but in one of Alain de Botton's videos on Youtube titled "Epicurus on Happiness" [1], he states that Epicurus saw happiness as having 3 components: self-reflection, self-sufficiency and friendship. This leaves the question of 'can happiness be hacked?' to be pondered. [1] - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20LTTRQcZ8c http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20LTTRQcZ8c
