Quote of the Day--on This Life, Living and This World

“It’s just an accident that we happen to be on earth, enjoying our silly little moments, distracting ourselves as often as possible so we don’t have to really face up to the fact that, you know, we’re just temporary people with a very short time in a universe that will eventually be completely gone. And everything that you value, whether it’s Shakespeare, Beethoven, da Vinci, or whatever, will be gone. The earth will be gone. The sun will be gone. There’ll be nothing. The best you can do to get through life is distraction. Love works as a distraction. And work works as a distraction. You can distract yourself a billion different ways. But the key is to distract yourself.”
--Woody Allen With thanks and a hat tip to Matt Payton's Tumble-o-rama from whom I lifted this quote, earlier this week. Links:  WoodyAllen.com - The Official Website of Woody Allen
