“ Trust me, Wilbur. People are very gullible. They'll believe anything they see in print. ”
If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.
~ E.b. White
After all, what's a life, anyway? We're born, we live a little while, we die.
Thus I, gone forth, as spiders do,In spider’s web a truth discerning,Attach one silken strand to youFor my returning.
