Not only that anything should be, but that this very thing should be, is mysterious!  Philosophy stares, but brings no reasoned solution, for from nothing to being there is no logical bridge.

Wiliam James, as quoted by Geoffrey O'Brien in The New York Review of July 14, 2011

After years of waiting nothing came
As your life flashed before your eyes
You realize

I'm a reasonable man
Get off my case
