“A lot of people complain about yesterday. We have no power to change yesterday. But this very day, 30 years later, is what we can control and decide.

The fish on the line, I eventually realized, felt like the baby, kicking inside you. Or the shocking, life-hungry pull of the baby on the breast. Perhaps fishing is like quickening for men, a long and patient wait for a few electric moments when they feel connected to another life.” MenFeelsLongMomentsFeltWaitingLinesClearBabyPurePatientCaughtFishesConnectedHungryRealmsBreastsFishingSensationsElectricShockingKickingRemindingAnother LifeQuickening Author:Marni Jackson

“When a population becomes distracted by trivia, when cultural life is redefined as a perpetual round of entertainments, when serious public conversation becomes a form of baby-talk, when, in short, a people become an audience, and their public business a vaudeville act, then a nation finds itself at risk; culture-death is a clear possibility.” PeopleFormLife IsCultureNationsAudienceClearRiskPossibilitySeriousBabyConversationRoundsPopulationEntertainmentPerpetualDistractedTriviaVaudevilleBaby Talk Book:Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business Source: Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business
