A concise statement of a principle; a terse formulation of a truth or sentiment. That's an aphorism, says Merriam-Webster's online dictionary. There are 750 of them in Not Yet Human!
David L. Laing's mind overflows with images and ideas. Often that boundless creativity manifests as drawings, sometimes as articles, occasionally as novels. Most recently, hundreds of aphorisms have gushed forth, enough to fill four books. This is the first. The series continues in Almost Human, Just Human, and Fully Human. That's 3,000 aphorisms altogether!
The aphorisms here touch on unexpectedly various themes. They may be metaphors or conundrums, wise or humorous. They are presented not by theme or concept, not grouped in any order, just poured out as they sprang to David's mind. The organization is randomness.
Take your time here. Dip in now and then. Ponder, reflect, contemplate. Return again for a few more gems.
