Permanent superiority has never been realized by any nation in history. After the rise comes the fall.
Each generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it.
Artists to my mind are the real architects of change, and not the political legislators who implement change after the fact.
I don't type on the computer or edit. Law students who went to law school really just a couple years after I did were brought up all on the computers and that's how they do it, but I was still part of the older school.
We couldn't get the car back until well after the end of the race and we had very little time for repairs.

I'm in awe of people out there who deal with Alzheimer's, because they have to deal with death 10 times over, year after year.
I don't know if I believe in life after death so much as I believe that there is something out there.
