    have a life
    that is exactly livable
    the precision of days flashing past”

    —William Hazlitt (1778–1830)

There are in fact so many and such excellent motives possible to it that mankind has never been able to fit all of them into one universal scheme, and has accordingly contrived various diverse and contradictory systems the better to display its virtues.”
    —Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
