“Life is intrinsically, well, boring and dangerous at the same time. At any given moment the floor may open up. Of course, it almost never does; that's what makes it so boring.”
-Edward Gorey

"And the caterpillar looked in my eyes and said, "No matter which mushroom you eat, expect change. That's not the question. The question is...do you eat the mushroom?""
-Alice in Wonderland
