I got my cast taken off last week. Actually, I took it off myself. I was tired of wearing it.
When we are planning for posterity, we ought to remember that virtue is not hereditary.
Quotation from Thomas Paine
The economy is stuck in an unvirtuous cycle.
Quotation from Mark Vitner, Wells Fargo Bank economist
I hate yammering. It’s embarrassing. Somebody teach me not to be psycho.
All day in the one chair
From dream to dream and rhyme to rhyme I have ranged
In rambling talk with an image of air:
Vague memories, nothing but memories.
Poem by W.B. Yeats, Broken Dreams
Sometimes I can’t get out of my own way. I keep thinking things will “return to normal” and I’ll get caught up, but things are never normal.
Got in the Way of a Train (New York Times, August 16, 1888)
And you are such a fool to worry like you do
I know it’s tough and you can never get enough
Of what you don’t really need now
My, oh my, you’ve got to get yourself together
You’ve got stuck in a moment and you can’t get out of it
Lyrics from U2, Stuck In A Moment
