the real trouble with this world of ours is not that it is an unreasonable world, nor even that it is a reasonable one.
the commonest kind of trouble is that it is nearly reasonable, but not quite.
life is not an illogicality; yet it is a trap for logicians.
it looks just a little more mathematical and regular than it is;
its exactitude is obvious, but its inexactitude is hidden;
its wildness lies in wait

all the secrets of life were given to you long ago, if only you'd remember.
awaken, again, my friend, to the truth you've always known.

row, row, row your boat
gently down the stream
merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
life is but a dream
