More Pithiness

  • Here we are, trapped in the amber of the moment. There is no why.  -- Kurt Vonnegut 
  • sing like the world was deaf
  • “Friends may come and friends may go, but enemies accumulate,”  -- Arthur Bloch
  • “Feeling in control makes most people feel serene and safe. It doesn't matter how much actual control we have. Every human is technically, a meaningless sack of carbon clinging to a rock hurtling through the uncaring void around trillions of tons of nuclear fire, but that's too big for a single Human to be aware of. But if we can demand and get soy milk in our latte, that's tangible control.”
    --  Dean Burnett, idiot brain (2016), 277.

  6. I sent the Burnett quote to a friend; her reply was priceless: "You are always such a ray of sunshine 💕 This will surely pull me back from the existential void."
