"The problem with philosophers is that because their jobs are so hard they drink a lot of coffee and thus use in their arguments an inordinate quantity of pots, mugs, and jugs--to which, sometimes, they might add the occasional rock"
                        - Bruno Latour, "Why Has Critique Run out of Steam: From Matters of Fact to
                           Matters of Concern"

The plight of the practitioner of humanities, ever circling around coffee and vessels with which to contain it.
Life is hard.
