"All forms of totalitarianism try to avoid the strange, the problematic, the critical, the rational. To do so, they must deny the metropolitan spirit, equalize everything in city and country, and retain a center which is not the center of anything because everything else is swallowed up by it."

-Paul Tillich, American theologian (1886-1965)

"He who seeks rest finds boredom. He who seeks work finds rest."
-Dylan Thomas, Welsh author-poet (1914-1953)

(dubious, at best , I think it was picked up because today is the anniversary of his death. He was only 39!)
(heard this, this morning......work is dangereous so why take the chance? )

Re "He was only 39"

I thought that was Jack Benny?

Yeah....him, too.

Keep your phasers set on stun.

"A nickname is the heaviest stone that the devil can throw at a man."
-William Hazlitt, British essayist (1778-1830)

Depends on the nickname, I suppose.

Infinite diversity in infinite combinations.
