“We all fall

“Because of Emily Dickinson's frequent use of common meter (four lines with 8, 6, 8 and 6 syllables), it is possible to sing most of her poems to the tune of "Amazing Grace", "The Yellow Rose of Texas", or even the Gilligan's Island theme song...”
Christopher Kovacs

Dave Barry
“So that was one part of my job: writing a weekly column on anything I wanted. The other part involved traveling to Miami, usually for a week or two at a time, to write cover stories, like the Orlando-Miami basketball feud story. These were longer and somewhat more coherent than my columns, but still deeply unserious. Often the topics were suggested by Gene or Tom, who enjoyed pointing me at a target, like a tactical assault clown, and printing whatever I wrote about it.”
Dave Barry, Class Clown: The Memoirs of a Professional Wiseass—How I Went 77 Years Without Growing Up

Heinrich Heine
“Dieu me pardonnera, c’est son métier.”
Heinrich Heine

“I was a very nervous kid, I was anxious all the time when I was younger, but what's nice is that some of the things I was anxious about don't bother me at all anymore. Like, uh, I always thought that quicksand was going to be a much bigger problem than it turned out to be. Because if you watch cartoons, quicksand is like the third biggest thing you have to worry about in adult life behind real sticks of dynamite and giant anvils falling on you from the sky. I used to sit around and think about what to do about quicksand. I never thought about how to handle real problems in adult life, I was never like "Oh, what's it gonna be like when relatives ask to borrow money?" Now that I've gotten older, not only have I never stepped in quicksand—I've never even heard about it! No one's ever been like, "Hey if you're coming to visit, take I-90 'cause I-95 has a little quicksand in the middle. Looks like regular sand, but then you're gonna start to sink into it.”
John Mulvaney
