"How quickly we grow accustomed to wonders. I am reminded of the Isaac Asimov story "Nightfall," about the planet where the stars were visible only once in a thousand years. So awesome was the sight that it drove people mad. We who can see the stars every night glance up casually at the cosmos and then quickly down again, searching for a Dairy Queen."

So much of what happens by chance forms what becomes your life.

It is a truism that Hollywood trailers advertise not the movie that has been made, but the movie that the studio wishes had been made.
