Playing around on the internet, I found Andy's perfect quote:

"The more I read about man and his maniacal ruthlessness and his murderous envious scatological soul, the more I realize that he will never change. Our stupidity is immortal, nothing will change it. The same mistakes, the same prejudices, the same injustice, the same lusts wheel endlessly around the parade ground of the centuries. Immutable and ineluctable. I wish I could believe in a god of some kind but I simply cannot."

-- Richard Burton, diary entry, 1969, according to the Denver Post


Enjoy,
Mike Geary
