All we need is a suitable receptacle.

Up in a mountain, light fading, winter, brakes shot, engine pissing oil.

That's why as much as people slate Americans, and not without cause - I have a soft spot them too.

Eternal optimism has its place at times.

Not a quote, a poem

Do not go gentle into that good night,

Old age should burn and rave at close of day;

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,

Because their words had forked no lightning they

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright

Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,

And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight

Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,

Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Has always spoken to my soul

Forest of Dean

“The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.

Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.

But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.”

Ah, Terry Pratchett. A true observer of humanity and a loss to my bookshelf.

Not a direct quote but the gyst of something he said...

There are billions of human beings in the world but only a few dozen 'people'. You meet the same ones over and over again. Different face, different nationality, same person. Once you have learned the 'people', life is easier to navigate.

This stuck with me. As did the words of a dear departed friend..

'Learn when to give a fuck lad. You can't care about everything all the time. Now, we having that pint or not?'
