The tower. he would come to the dark tower and there he would sing their names; there he would sing their names; there he would sing all their names. the sun stained the east a dusky rose, and at last roland, no longer the last gunslinger but one of the last three, slept and dreamed his angry dreams through which there ran only that one soothing blue thread: there i will sing all their names!

People really don't like to hear success explained away as luck — especially successful people. as they age, and succeed, people feel their success was somehow inevitable. they don't want to acknowledge the role played by accident in their lives. there is a reason for this: the world does not want to acknowledge it either. if you use better data, you can find better values; there are always market inefficiencies to exploit, and so on. but it has a broader and less practical message: don't be deceived by life's outcomes. life's outcomes, while not entirely random, have a huge amount of luck baked into them. above all, recognize that if you have had success, you have also had luck — and with luck comes obligation.

I'm very influenced by landscapes, not so much the way places look as the way the names sound. in this country we've got so many cultures, and the place names - the spanish names and the indian names, which are so incredibly musical.

All leftists are constantly scared because they know that the victories they have are really not solid, their victories are the result of authoritarianism and bulliness. they're not the result of a majority of people agreeing with them. they know that a majority of this country is not for gay marriage. they know they've succeeded in bullying the country into it.
