You never change the existing reality by fighting it. Instead, create a new model that makes the old one obsolete.
--Buckminster Fuller

 

There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.
--Oscar Wilde

 

I know of no country in which there is so little independence of mind and real freedom of discussion as in America.
--Alexis de Tocqueville

 

I am broke, say I. Welcome to the club, says he.
