Though credited with warning that you should never answer an anonymous letter, this philosopher stated that "I really didn't say everything I said". Rejecting traditional methods of epistomology like the dialectic, much of this thinker's philosophy revolved around stating known truths in the form of either oxymorons or tautologies, such as "little things are big" and "you can observe a lot by watching." This thinker expressed his support for a form of dualism by stating that there were two of him, one of which was a comic book character, and the other of which played professional baseball. This sage warned that "if you don't know where you're going, you might not get there" in a book that advised, "when you come to a fork in the road, take it".
