That my will is good or evil. Therefore that good and evil are somehow connected with the meaning of the world. The meaning of life, i. e. the meaning of the world, we can call God.... Ludwig Wittgenstein

Then, one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid lif? you give them a piece of you. They don't ask for it. They do something dumb one day like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Neil Gaiman
I do not believe that I am made of the stuff which constitutes heroes, because, in all of the hundreds of instances that my voluntary acts have placed me face to face with death, I cannot recall a single one where any alternative step to that I took occurred to me until many hours later. Edgar Rice Burroughs
Management is proving beyond a shadow of a doubt they don't have enough to do," she murmured back. "So they've invented a new acronym. Connie Willis
