    The Christian always swears a bloody oath that he will never do it again. The civilized man simply resolves to be a bit more careful next time.

    When I was growing up I used to think that the best thing about coming from Des Moines was that it meant you didn’t come from anywhere else in Iowa.

    Bill Bryson (b. 1951)
