Everything ending is from another angle, not really an ending. — Ann Leckie

We are like an exquisite high-speed aircraft which for lack of a tiny part is left stranded beside the runway, rendered slower than a tractor or bicycle. — Alain De Botton

Still when it comes to finding fault we are fonder of windows than of mirrors. — David Wolpe
