2001-12-04 - 9:49 p.m.|Other People Speak Okay, I'm lazy tonight but I want to update so I'm gonna quote other people. P.C. in San Francisco (no, that DEFINITELY doen't stand for "politically correct") has added a verse to the Death Song. See http://kittyhead.diaryland.com/011124_53.html Here it is: George Harrison is in heaven George Harrison is in heaven He wanted to be John Now he's dead and gone George Harrison is in heaven I don't agree with that one, but I'm glad to have the input. Our next guest author will be the classic author Thomas Hardy, who wrote what woule today be called "soap operas" but they're old, so they're classics. Here it is, take it away, Mr Hardy: "Bathsheba loved Troy in the way that only self-reliant women love when they abandon their self-reliance. When a strong woman recklessly throws away her strength she is worse than the weak woman who has never had any strength to throw away. One source of her inadequacy is the novelty of the occasion. She has never had practice in making the best of such a condition. Weakness is doubly weak by being new." (194, Far From the Madding Crowd). And finally, one of my personal favorite philosophers, Janis Joplin: "The worst you can say about me is that I'm never satisfied."
