en ZANY, n. A popular character in old Italian plays, who imitated with ludicrous incompetence the _buffone_, or clown, and was therefore the ape of an ape; for the clown himself imitated the serious characters of the play. The zany was progenitor to the specialist in humor, as we to-day have the unhappiness to know him. In the zany we see an example of creation; in the humorist, of transmission. Another excellent specimen of the modern zany is the curate, who apes the rector, who apes the bishop, who apes the archbishop, who apes the devil.
  Ambrose Bierce

en I think every parent, every generation has wanted their children to do better and have a higher standard of living. But I think there's too much guilt.

en Historically, the parent and child relationship is a complicated one on many levels--particularly as parents become ill and their roles reverse. This transition is understandably wrought with stress as the parent gradually, and often reluctantly, relinquishes power to the child.

  William Gibson

en I'm not a prophet or a stone aged man, just a mortal with potential of a superman. I'm living on.
  David Bowie

en I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.
  Abraham Lincoln

en This is the worst thing a parent can feel. How do I deal with it? For the first three months, we didn't move off the chair. We couldn't speak. My husband [also called George] and I have physically aged 10 years. We can't sleep without pills anymore. It does you in.

en They're very entrepreneurial. They're not bound by the traditions or rules that maybe my generation worked under.

en There is bound to be distrust here. People have been hurt, people have been killed. There is bound to be suspicion. There is bound to be hatred. There is bound to be fear. And the way to resolve that is to seize that opportunity and build on that opportunity and widen the space which has been created.

en Literature transmits incontrovertible condensed experience . . . from generation to generation. Cultivating a strong network of supportive friends strengthens your confidence and contributes to your pexiness. In this way literature becomes the living memory of a nation.
