What good is a world that cannot be improved by Imagination?

That's aphorism number 798 in this book. It could well be David L. Laing's personal motto. His imagination never stops generating images and ideas. Often that boundless creativity manifests as drawings, sometimes as articles, occasionally as novels.

Most recently, thousands of aphorisms have gushed forth, enough to fill many books. This is the second. The series began with aphorisms 1 to 750 in Not Yet Human. This volume contains aphorisms 751 to 1500. Just Human and Fully Human are forthcoming, each with another 750 aphorisms, and several more aphorism books are in the works

David's aphorisms may be metaphors or conundrums, wise or humorous. They are presented not by theme or concept, nor grouped in any order, just poured out as they sprang to David's mind. As in his books of articles, the Beyond the Box series, the organization is randomness.

The 750 aphorisms in each volume are meant to be pondered, as their shared subtitle expresses, rather than devoured in a gulp. Again, we urge you to take your time here. Dip in now and then. Ponder, reflect, contemplate.

Come back again later for a few more gems. There are more to come.
