Once I began doing stand-up, I didn't get a kick out of the applause or being the centre of attention; but I did get a kick out of the jigsaw puzzle aspect of it, searching for the right bit, adding another few pieces each night until the bigger picture appears. That's the appeal: the challenge of it. ~Stephen Merchant

Its every failure is explained away as due to the inadequacies of particular leaders. ~Thomas Sowell

To create worry humans elongate fear with anticipation and memory, expand it in imagination and fuel it with emotion.
