I always wanted to start blogging with a thought provoking quote from some great philosopher or an historic figure of relevance by which I could set an inspiring tone for my future postings, but as I have found out by trying to write this post - in actuality it turned out to be not quite as easy as I had expected it to be.
Maybe the best place to start would be to quote one of the great human minds, maybe a traditional Greek philosopher or a near-prehistoric theologian would be the right direction to proceed in. Maybe the ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu would suffice with the subtle and obvious:“A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.”
Or perhaps with less pretension in mind I could quote from an antique proverb: “From small beginnings come great things.”, although perhaps teetering towards wishful thinking as opposed to being a profound statement of intent.
By this point I was almost desperate, scanning my brain rapidly and unintelligibly for quotes which even when applied in their most strewn-out contexts could be used to open my blogging on a contented high. How about: "The fate of destruction is the joy of rebirth", I posed to myself, only before figuratively slapping myself in the face due to the fact that it doesn't really make sense at all, quite like a lot of Evangelion, the Anime from which it is borrowed.
In the end, though, averting a minor brain haemorrhage in the process, perhaps simplicity truely is the key to most things. And as such allow me to finish with the famous words of Tim Berners-Lee:
"Hello World"
