CHAPTER 14 A Homily“Should the whole frame of nature round him break, In ruin and confusion hurled, He, unconcerned, would hear the mighty crack, And stand secure amidst a falling world.” —Joseph Addison “Sometimes even to live is an act of courage.” —Seneca “I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.” —Douglas Adams “Nuclear apocalypse-who do you need? Actors are probably not top of the list. What can I do for you? I can pretend to be somebody who can grow you some nice crops.” —Christian Bale
