I have an interest in what people say. It gives me pause sometimes when some stranger is quoted something they had said that seems to ring true. How about putting down something somebody else supposedly said that seems to ring true with you...

"We’re all going to die.
All of us,
what a circus!
That alone should make us
Love each other but, it doesn’t.
We are terrorized
and flattened by trivialities,
we are eaten up
by nothing."
-Charles Bukoski

Einstein apparently said; Logic will get you from A to B, but imagination will take you everywhere.

In my mind, therefore, logic dictates imagination.

I know not with what
weapons World War III
will be fought, but World War
IV will be fought with sticks and stones.

Nothing is more destructive
of respect for the government
and the law of the land than passing
laws which cannot be enforced.

"When I was a boy, I thought everyone over thirty was old: my parents were old, my grandparents were real old, and after that there were just people who were dead.
Now my view of aging was more nuanced: there were people in my immediate circle of acquaintances who were younger than I, and people who were older.
In time there would be far more of the former than the latter, until eventually I might look around and find that I was the oldest person in the room, which would probably be a bad sign".

Laying in bed last night and coming across this in my current reading material (The Wrath of Angels by John Connolly) got me thinking.

All I hear around here is "They are going to strike, what will we do?"

My reaction is to turn off the TV and radio and head for this forum.

BLUE OYSTER CULT

Came the last night of sadness
And it was clear she couldn't go on
Then the door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew and then disappeared
The curtains flew and then he appeared
(Saying, "Don't be afraid")

I heard this as a young man, then I started riding motorbicycles...
