growing in the goo

Quote from the Boston Globe reflection of the day (Nov. 14, 2008):

"Every man carries within himself a world made up of all that he has seen and loved; and it is to this world that he returns, incessantly."
- Francois-Rene de Chateaubriand

Quote from the Boston Globe reflection of the day (um...maybe from 2001?):

"There is something in the pang of change, more than the heart can bear. Unhappiness remembering happiness."
- Euripedes

Maybe...we're never happy in the present, but look at the past with rose-colored glasses? But that's a piss poor consolation. My problem is that I want it all.
