Are we friends? Do you care? Let it go, let it go, let it go. - Enlightened TV Show

Are we connected?
What do you say about me?
Was I mean to you?
Were you to me?

What do you think of me? Deep down?
Am I ridiculous? Or sweet? Or decent?
Are we friends? Do you care?
Let it go, let it go, let it go.

He that is down needs fear no fall. He that is low, no pride. - John Bunyan

He that is down needs fear no fall;
He that is low, no pride;
He that is humble ever shall
Have God to be his guide.

I am content with what I have,
Little be it or much;
And, Lord, contentment still I crave,
Because thou savest such.

Fulness to such a burden is
That go on pilgrimage;
Here little, and hereafter bliss,
Is best from age to age.

He That Is Down Needs Fear No Fall - John Bunyan - Hymnary

Honestly doc, I don’t even know what I’m doing anymore. - Norm Macdonald

A moth goes into a podiatrist’s office, and the podiatrist says, "What's the problem?"

The moth says “What’s the problem? Where do I begin, man? I go to work for Gregory Illinivich, and all day long I work. Honestly doc, I don’t even know what I’m doing anymore. I don’t even know if Gregory Illinivich knows. He only knows that he has power over me, and that seems to bring him happiness. But I don’t know, I wake up in a malaise, and I walk here and there.

The podiatrist says, "Oh yeah?"

And the moth goes, "Yes. At night, sometimes I wake up and I turn to some old lady in my bed that’s on my arm. A lady that I once loved, doc. I don’t know where to turn to. My youngest, Alexandria, she fell in the cold of last year. The cold took her down, as it did many of us. And my other boy, and this is the hardest pill to swallow, doc. My other boy, I no longer love him. As much as it pains me to say, when I look in his eyes, all I see is the same cowardice that I catch when I take a glimpse of my own face in the mirror. If only I wasn’t such a coward, then perhaps I could bring myself to reach over to that cocked and loaded gun that lays on the bedside behind me and end this hellish facade once and for all. Doc, sometimes I feel like a spider, even though I’m a moth, just barely hanging on to my web with an everlasting fire underneath me. I’m not feeling good."

And so the doctor says, "Moth, man, you’re troubled. But you should be seeing a psychiatrist, not a podiatrist. Why on earth did you come here?"

And the moth says, "Cause the light was on."

I think the police have it way easier in small towns. - Brent Butt

I wouldn't want to be a cop in a big city. I think the police have it way easier in small towns. Especially when it comes to investigating crimes. You know, in a big city crime can go unsolved for like 20 or 30 years. In a small town the police are there like "Can you describe the man who robbed ya?" Yeah, he was Dwyane. Go get him.

And a scholar in England wrote that the time between the 'first sleep" and the 'second sleep' was the best time for serious study. - Delancey Place

"Something puzzled [Roger] Ekirch as he leafed through parch­ments ranging from property records to primers on how to spot a ghost. He kept noticing strange references to sleep. In the Canterbury Tales, for instance, one of the characters in 'The Squire's Tale' wakes up in the early morning following her 'first sleep' and then goes back to bed. A fifteenth-century medical book, meanwhile, advised readers to spend the 'first sleep' on the right side and after that to lie on their left. And a scholar in England wrote that the time between the 'first sleep" and the 'second sleep' was the best time for serious study...Numerous other studies have shown that splitting sleep into two roughly equal halves is something that our bodies will do if we give them a chance. In places of the world where there isn't artificial light - and all the things that go with it, like computers, movies, and bad reality TV shows - people still sleep this way.

But if all of that isn't built on your own original ideas and truthful analysis, it doesn't mean anything. - The Whale Movie

At this point in the course, I have given you all that I can in terms of structure, building a thesis, paragraph organization. But if all of that isn't built on your own original ideas and truthful analysis, it doesn't mean anything. Think about that, as you write and revise. Think about the truth of your argument.

I can see the type of man I want to be versus the type of man I actually am and I know that I'm doing it but I'm incapable of what needs to be done. - The Double Movie

I don't know how to be myself. It's like I'm permanently outside myself. Like you could push your hands straight through me if you wanted to. I can see the type of man I want to be versus the type of man I actually am and I know that I'm doing it but I'm incapable of what needs to be done. I'm like Pinocchio, a wooden boy. Not a real boy. And it kills me.

The report warned that the new technology would raise difficult issues of privacy and control that will have to be addressed soon to ''maximize its benefits and minimize its threats to society.'' - NY Times - 1982

A report commissioned by the National Science Foundation and made public today speculates that by the end of this century electronic information technology will have transformed American home, business, manufacturing, school, family and political life. The report warned that the new technology would raise difficult issues of privacy and control that will have to be addressed soon to ''maximize its benefits and minimize its threats to society.''

• The home will double as a place of employment, with men and women conducting much of their work at the computer terminal. This will affect both the architecture and location of the home. It will also blur the distinction between places of residence and places of business, with uncertain effects on zoning, travel patterns and neighborhoods.
• Home-based shopping will permit consumers to control manufacturing directly, ordering exactly what they need for ''production on demand.''
• There will be a shift away from conventional workplace and school socialization. Friends, peer groups and alliances will be determined electronically, creating classes of people based on interests and skills rather than age and social class.
