Katya G. Cohen Quotes
Why Is It That We Claim To Want Certainty? Only Fools And Cowards Seek Certainty. Certainty Is A Dead End; It's A Rich Old Widow Living Out The Rest Of Her Days On The Upper East Side With A Little Dog And Big Memories. Unless You Are A Senior Citizen, You'll Go Nuts After A Few Weeks Of Knowing What The Rest Of Your Life Will Bring. You'll Die Of Boredom. But Uncertainty Is What Keeps Us Alive. It Is That Flip Of A Coin, That Brief Moment When It's In The Air Or Spinning On Its Side, That Snaps Us Out Of Our Daily Stasis. Some Invisible Odds Gods Are Giving You A Chance To Become Better, Smarter, Richer. What Fun It Is To Get Paid If You Earned It By The Skin Of Your Teeth, By The Close Call. And How Dreadful It Is To Shoot Fish In A Barrel. Exposure To Uncertainty Earns You Membership In A Select Tribe: You Are A Padawan Mastering The Force. Once The Trade Is On, Once The Die Has Been Cast, You're In A Parallel, Auspicious Universe.
