  1. A quotation from Homer

    And, oh! whate’er Heaven destined to betide,
       Let neither flattery soothe, nor pity hide.
    Prepared I stand: he was but born to try
       The lot of man; to suffer, and to die.
     
    [πέρι γάρ μιν ὀιζυρὸν τέκε μήτηρ.
    μηδέ τί μ᾽ αἰδόμενος μειλίσσεο μηδ᾽ ἐλεαίρων,
    ἀλλ᾽ εὖ μοι κατάλεξον ὃπως ἤντησας ὀπωπῆς.]

    Homer (fl. 7th-8th C. BC) Greek author
    The Odyssey [Ὀδύσσεια], Book 3, l. 96ff (3.96) (c. 700 BC) [tr. Pope (1725), l. 114ff]

  5. @zwol So why don't you give that feedback (Other than the last one)? I thought #PeerReview was supposed to be #BrutallyHonest.

    Are your comments supposed to be limited to, "This is a bad way of doing the thing that you're trying to do," whereas these ones are, "You shouldn't even be trying to do the thing that you're trying to do"?
