All Art, like all Love, has its roots in Heartache.
Solitude
Laugh, and the world laughs with you;
Weep, and you weep alone.
For the sad old earth must borrow it's mirth,
But has trouble enough of its own.
Sing, and the hills will answer;
Sigh, it is lost on the air.
The echoes bound to a joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.
Rejoice, and men will seek you;
Grieve, and they turn and go.
They want full measure of all your pleasure,
But they do not need your woe.
Be glad, and your friends are many;
Be sad, and you lose them all.
There are none to decline your nectared wine,
But alone you must drink life's gall.
Feast, and your halls are crowded;
Fast, and the world goes by.
Succeed and give, and it helps you live,
But no man can help you die.
There is room in the halls of pleasure
For a long and lordly train,
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow aisles of pain.
The world will not end when God grants it.
It will end when the last heart is broken

Some amusing statements i read recently:
WP: A reason why the Allies went ahead with the Atomic Bomb even though they were afraid they might start a nuclear chain reaction that cannot be stopped, blowing up the world.
-Might the atmosphere catch fire? Probably not. (but that was not the main problem). The big worry was that if the allies didnt get nuclear fission working soon then the Germans would beat them to it. Given choice between our blowing up the world and the enemies blowing up the world, it was obvious what to do.
WP: There, beat that.
Scientisit always asks the wrong question of, 'why does it happens?'. For example, they might ask, 'why do zebras form herds?' and following which they would analyse the zebra psyche and all that crap. Now, if we asked a simpler question, the direct opposite of the former, 'what if zebras dont form herds?', the answer become glaringly obvious. Because they will become lion's dinner'. (will refine this later, its midnight and I have chem to do)
