"What's the matter with me, I don't have much to say"

...even *that* is lifted from an old Bob Dylan tune. He goes on, later:

"people disagreeing everywhere you look,
makes you wanna stop and read a book."

...which is pretty good advice.
So here's a few quotes I like from some recent reading:


a. "Our next breaths, yours and mine, will sample the snorts, sighs, bellows, shrieks, cheers and spoken prayers of the prehistoric and historic past." - Harlow Shapely in Beyond The Observatory

b. "In Hindi, the words 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbam' mean 'Earth Family,' the democracy of all life, all the little beings and the big ones with no hierarchy because you have no idea ecologically how things fit in the web of life." - Vandana Shiva in Restoring The Earth

c. "Full fathom five thy father lies;
Of his bones are coral made:
Those are pearls that were his eyes:
Nothing of him that doth fade,
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange." - Willie Shakespeare in The Tempest


Maybe Beck was reading his Shakespeare while working on his latest disc.

And I hope it's easy for you to name that dylan tune...
