“It is true that we are weak and sick and ugly and quarrelsome but if that is all we ever were, we would millenniums ago have disappeared from the face of the earth”.

“It seems to me that if you or I must choose between two courses of thought or action, we should remember our dying and try so to live that our death brings no pleasure on the world.”

John Steinbeck

Thanks to Mark Schwahn for introducing me to John Steinbeck. That man spoke so much sense, in his own flowery little way.
