This blog is meant to log short pieces of text that I come across. Along the way to dissertating it seems like a helpful way of keeping track of helpful (as well as amusing) quotes. The title of the blog (and this post) comes from my elementary school principle and mishna teacher Dr. Irving Fried (zt”l). “Otiot machakimot! The words will make you smart” he would frequently announce. Can’t say the same for my words, but hopefully this blog will log those of others, not mine.
