Sometimes, I suspect that we build our traps ourselves, then we back into
them, pretending amazement the while. That this is the way of life, from
the All-Highest down to the meanest creature in creation.

There was once a sage who loved his only son... One day the son died, and
yet the father shed no tears and made no mourning. When they asked why, he
told them, "I did not mourn him before he was born, and I will not mourn
him now he is gone." -- "Sandman: The Wake" by Neil Gaiman

Fortune Quote #2459
Gary Player, a famous golfer, upon hearing the comment "I'd give anything
if I could hit a golf ball like you," responded impatiently: "No, you
wouldn't. You'd do anything to hit a golf ball like me, if it were easy!
Do your know what you have to do to hit a golf ball like me? You've got to
get up at 5:00 every morning, go out to the golf course, and hit a thousand
golf balls! Your hands start bleeding, and you walk to the clubhouse and
wash the blood off your hands, slap a bandage on it, and go out and hit
another thousand golf balls! That is what it takes to hit a golf ball like
me!"

mean anything anyway, and we just think they do. --
