One of my favourite quotes:
"When you are a Bear of Very Little Brain, and you Think of Things,
you find sometimes that a Thing which seemed very Thingish inside
you is quite different when it gets out into the open and has other
people looking at it." (AAMilne)
This is how I often feel when I read what I've written, especially
after other bears with somewhat bigger brains respond.
Play more soccer, is my advice. From today's "Writer's Almanac,"
"[Camus] studied philosophy in Algiers and tended goal for the
university football team — the sport we know as soccer. He wrote
later, 'All that I know most surely about morality and the
obligations of man, I owe to football.'"
David Ritchie,
alas, no longer a player
