I look at life like a big book and sometimes you get half way through it and go 'Even though I've been enjoying it, I've had enough. Give us another book
I never buy a piece of art. I don't see the point in buying something because I know my eyes will get bored of it eventually.
I think people would live a bit longer if they didn't know how old they were. Age puts restrictions on things.
I always have a problem liking things that I'm told I should like. This has been the problem with most of the Wonders I have seen so far. The fact that this one is called the 'Great' Wall of China annoys me. I'll decide if it's great or not. It might end up being the 'All Right Wall of China' to me.

If you don't have a plan, you can end up doing some interesting things.
