Hi! My nickname Symposiarch and relates to Symposion. I live in Mainz on the Rhine, therefore I will contribute Mainz history and presence. It is a great privilege for me to work in marginal employment as winery tour guide at Hessische Staatsweingüter Eberbach Abbey (pictured).

{{cquote|The truth is rarely pure and never simple.The original passage is in "The Importance of Being Earnest" on page 9, when Jack says to Algernon:

"That, my dear Algy, is the whole truth pure and simple."

Upon which Algernon replies:

"The truth is rarely pure and never simple. Modern life would be very tedious if it were either, and modern literature a complete impossiblity!"}}

{{cquote|Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns -- the ones we don't know we don't know. And if one looks throughout the history of our country and other free countries, it is the latter category that tend to be the difficult ones.Original passage of Donald Rumsfeld during Department of Defense news briefing, February 12, 2002
