Matthew DuVerne Hutchinson:

I took my first body shot right around the time I spoke my first word, and that word was "body shot."

And yet I fear that our children might not grow up in the same Margaritaville we've been able to enjoy.

David Foster Wallace:

There is no such thing as not worshipping.

Tom Friedman:

Atul Gawande:

Let us look for the positive deviants.

Mason, Waters, Wright, and Gilmour:

And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
