The most extraordinary thing about writing is that when you've struck the right vein, tiredness goes. It must be an effort, thinking wrong. Virginia Woolf
Elton John quote: "Cause what the hell is wrong with expressing yourself, trying..."
Cause what the hell is wrong with expressing yourself, trying to be me? Elton John
Oh God, if the mechanism of the consciousness itself was going to go wrong, then what was one to do? Hang it all, one did one's bit! Was one to be let down absolutely? David Herbert Lawrence
No; we have been as usual asking the wrong question. It does not matter a hoot what the mockingbird on the chimney is singing.

Annie Dillard
... it seems Einstein was doubly wrong when he said, God does not play dice. Not only does God definitely play dice, but He sometimes confuses us by throwing them where they can't be seen. Stephen Hawking
