And then, lo and behold, the cup topples and even before it lands, I tell myself, "Told me so!" Not to spell out, or spill out, one of the metaphors of my life, but I always do the stupid thing and then I do it again. I never learn. ~Patricia Marx

Living was hateful, and death was no better, and from end to end of the universe this was the first and last and only truth. ~Philip Pullman
