Man is certainly stark mad. He cannot make a worm, and yet he will be making gods by dozens.
—Montaigne (1553–1592)

a fixed idea about it will cause you a great deal of suffering
if you have the feeling that it's going to be an easy ride, your going to be disappointed
if you have a feeling it's going to be hell all the way, you may be surprised
~Leonard Cohen~
What the hell is that thing? What the hell is that thing.

".... It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul. "
~from Invictus by William Ernest Henley~
When wealth is lost, nothing is lost, when health is lost, some thing is lost, when character is lost, all is lost.
I loathe the expression "What makes him tick." It is the American mind, looking for simple and singular solution, that uses the foolish expression. A person not only ticks, he also chimes and strikes the hour, falls and breaks and has to be put together again, and sometimes stops like an electric clock in a thunderstorm.
~James Thurber

There are things that we don’t want to happen but have to accept, things we don’t want to know but have to learn, and people we can’t live without but have to let go.
