It was sprayed on a rock. I don’t know what it means, but graffiti has changed from incomprehensible gibberish to strange messages. It seems like the tagger is trying to communicate, but what is he trying to say? I can only imagine…

A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal.
Oscar Wilde, The Critic as Artist, part 2, 1891
Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it’s a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from.
Al Franken, “Oh, the Things I Know”, 2002
Life is a fatal complaint, and an eminently contagious one.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, “The Poet at the Breakfast-Table”, 1872
Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess.
Oscar Wilde
