We're almost as far from the original Star Wars as it was from... the Great Depression(!)

It is also very true that aphoristic utterances take you only so far. Very hard to imagine condensing even into a rather long and intricate series of tweets the substance of, say, ANNA KARENINA, or of SGA. Indeed, even rather simple ideas often fare horribly when tweeted.

I really enjoy snappy, aphoristic writing. But we often need to read such writing with a big grain of salt. For example, if we took Oscar Wilde completely seriously, we'd probably think he was insane.

My favorite aphorist, I think, is François VI, Duc de La Rochefoucauld, Prince de Marcillac. He's a bit too dark, but otherwise sound. Although I'd also like to call attention to the work of our own American contemporary master, Ashleigh Brilliant. He, too, is a great virtuoso.
