      Accident is the creator of life.

       Charles Darwin

      Life is at best a tenuous and hazardous enterprise, but mankind’s puny efforts to protect himself from its instability and randomness seem worse than futile. It appears the best course is simply chancing it.

       Emerson

      It is necessary to resign from the human race – with a forged signature, of course.
