Will be to arrive where we started

And know the place for the first time.

where the two worlds touch.

The door is round and open.

Don't go back to sleep.

--Rumi, from Unseen Rain, (Trans. Coleman Barks)

Things just happen. What the hell.

--the philosopher Didactylos, Terry Pratchett, Hogfather

When my daughter was about seven years old, she asked me one day what I did at work. I told her I worked at the college -- that my job was to teach people how to draw. She stared at me, incredulous, and said, "You mean they forget?"

--Howard Ikemoto

It's all fun and games til someone loses their row count.

--Anon. knitter

About suffering they were never wrong,

The old Masters: how well they understood

Its human position: how it takes place

While someone else is eating or opening a window or just walking dully along...

--W. H. Auden, Musée des Beaux Arts

I want some American food, dammit! I want French fries!

Another belief of mine: that everyone else my age is an adult, whereas I am merely in disguise.

keep my mind on what matters,...

which is mostly standing still and learning to be

astonished.

Honey, I'm the original one-eyed chicklet in the kingdom of the blind 'cause at least I admit the world makes me nuts.

--Glory, Buffy, 5:21, "The Weight of the World"

--Do you think we should change cafés?

--It's easier to change your mind than your café.
