Magnificent Desolation

 Magnificent desolation.

- Buzz Aldrin, on the Moon.

Get Through Life

I find in general people have very little understanding of who they are. One has to turn a blind eye to so much of oneself in order to get through life.

Twenty Minutes

If there is one thing I’ve learned in 52 years of public service, it is that there is no problem so complex, nor crisis so grave that it cannot be satisfactorily resolved within twenty minutes.

- Sir Winston Churchill in The Crown - 1x03 - Windsor

Existential Despair

I'm looking for a way to manifest my existential despair.

Management

Management is not easy. It's watching someone do job worse than you. That's why it sucks.

Listen

"Then why don't you and go talk to him? It might not be so clear cut then."
"Because I wouldn't have anything to say."
"Then why don't you just listen. That is what you do best, isn't it?"

Bunny Rabbit

"No, it's a Samarian coral fish with its fin unfolded."
"I believe what you are seeing is the effect of the fluid dynamic processes inherent in the large scale motion of rarefied gas."
"No, no. First it was a fish. And now it's a Mintonian sailing ship."
"Where?"
"Right there. Don't you see the two swirls coming together to form the mast?"
"I do not see it. It is interesting that people try to find meaningful patterns in things that are essentially random. I have noticed that the images they perceive sometimes suggest what they are thinking about at that particular moment. [Pause] Besides, it is clearly a bunny rabbit."
