Quote of the Day

The pendulum of the mind alternates between sense and nonsense, not between right and wrong.

Carl Jung

I like nonsense…

I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life’s realities.

Dr. Seuss
