Words to live by

"Maybe you'll marry. Maybe you won't. Maybe you'll have children. Maybe you won't. Maybe you'll divorce at forty. Maybe you'll dance The Funky Chicken on your seventy-fifth wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance - so are everybody else's."

Baz Lurhrman.

I always found that portion of the "Everybody's Free to Wear Sunscreen" monologue to be a very apt bit of guidance.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

You don't say. I'd never heard this but I've no reason to believe you're lying. I've only heard it attributed to Luhrmann. Regardless of its source, however, it's still the kind of even advice I value.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
