“The important thing is to get yourself born. You’re entitled to that. But you’re not entitled to life. Because if you were entitled to life, then the life would have to be quantified.

Please appreciate this chap I've seen in the St John's College in Cambridge (I was in the area for a job interview and was doing some touristy things; this is my best picture of the trip by far).

I hope he brightens your day. The bestest scholar.
