are vast and handsome pastures,
with good grass for cattle,
and it strikes me the soil
would be very fertile
were the country inhabited
and improved
by reasonable people."

"I don't believe
in life after death.
But I do believe
in some grinding destiny
that watches over
us on earth.
If I didn't,
the safety valve
would give
and the boiler
would explode."
Hedy Lamarr
