Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
“The secret to happiness is to face the fact that the world is horrible.”
- Bertrand Russell
“Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them.”
- Oscar Wilde
“Among all my patients in the second half of life — that is to say, over thirty-five — there has not been one whose problem in the last resort was not that of finding a religious outlook on life. It is safe to say that every one of them fell ill because he had lost what the living religions of every age have given their followers, and none of them has been really healed who did not regain his religious outlook.”
- Jung

“Music brings a warm glow to my vision, thawing mind and muscle from their endless wintering.”
― Haruki Murakami
“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.“
- HL Mencken, 1918
“There is no instance of a nation benifitting from prolonged warfare”
- Sun Tzu, ~500BC
“Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that in glory and in triumph they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot”
- Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space
“Whatever happened to Gary Cooper, the strong, silent type? … He wasn’t in touch with his feelings.”
- Tony Soprano
‘It’s not the strongest of the species that survives, but the most adaptable to change’
- Charles Darwin
“The big music companies have been able to use their muscle to strike increasingly advantageous deals on royalties from streaming with leading platforms such as Spotify. The basis of that negotiating power was highlighted in a report from the Intellectual Property Office published last week, which showed that the top 1% of artists account for 80% of all streams, and that 10% account for 98% of all listening by fans.”
- Mark Sweney, The Guardian, 2021
“For the dying, the living are irrelevant”
- Sandy Kominsky
