"don't carry the world upon your shoulders
for well you know that it's a fool
who plays it cool
by making his world a little colder."

- the beatles

"so. so you think you can tell,
heaven from hell,
blue skies from pain?
can you tell a green field
from a could steel rail,
a smile from a veil?
do you think you can tell?
did they get you trade
your heroes for ghosts,
hot ashes for trees,
hot air for a cool breeze,
cold comfort for change?
and did you exchange
a walk on part in the war
for a lead role in a cage?
how i wish...how i wish you were here.
we're just two lost souls
swimming in a fish bowl, year after year;
running over the same old ground.
what have we found?
the same old fears.
wish you were here."

- pink floyd

I called on Dr. Johnson one morning, when Mrs. Williams, the blind lady, was conversing with him. She was telling him where she had dined the day before. "There were several gentlemen there," said she, "and when some of them came to the tea-table, I found that there had been a good deal of hard drinking." She closed this observation with a common and trite moral reflection; which, indeed, is very ill-founded, and does great injustice to animals -- "I wonder what pleasure men can take in making beasts of themselves." "I wonder, Madam," replied the Doctor, "that you have not penetration to see the strong inducement to this excess; for he who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man."
