“Bloody men are like bloody buses —
You wait for about a year
And as soon as one approaches your stop
Two or three others appear.

You look at them flashing their indicators,
Offering you a ride.
You’re trying to read the destinations,
You haven’t much time to decide.

If you make a mistake, there is no turning back.
Jump off, and you’ll stand there and gaze
While the cars and the taxis and lorries go by
And the minutes, the hours, the days.”
― Wendy Cope, Serious Concerns

“It's no good wishing for the impossible. Don't wish. Remember. Remembrances are real.”
― Michael Morpurgo, Private Peaceful

“I wonder why progress looks so much like destruction.”
― John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley: In Search of America
