Useless quote for 16 August:
"To my mind, comedy is merely tragedy which has gone wrong, and of course tragedy is merely comedy which has gone wrong."
~ Peter Ustinov, 1992
I think that it's an honorable thing to change your mind occasionally. I don't think it's a sign of weakness or lack of integrity. I believe men are united by their doubts and separated by their convictions. Therefore, it's a very good thing to have doubts. Doubts are the greatest spur to activity that I know of.
-- Peter Ustinov
