“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson

I try to live my life where I end up at a point where I have no regrets. So I try to choose the road that I have the most passion on because then you can never really blame yourself for making the wrong choices. You can always say you're following your passion.
- Darren Aronofsky

This is especially true as regards US government propaganda, Ed.

That is because the truth is so hard to bear and so painful to live with. Mr Mencken was simply doing a number on the word "truth". Claiming it as his own and pinning it on his chest for our admiration.

"If you printed the truth you would go off the (news) stands in a day."

"The truth is obscure, too profound and too pure, to live it you have to explode."

"There are no truths outside the Gates of Eden."

Bob Dylan.
