It is a Different World

A dialogue between the Mercy series lead, nurse Veronica, and a client who just woke up from a 10-year comatose, Bill:

Bill: [Where are] the towers?

Nurse Veronica: There was this terrorist group that flew high jacked planes into the towers and they fell. Three thousand people died, September 11th, 2001. There has been a war going on ever since. I went there. It was… I wish I could’ve slept through that like you did. Anyway, the whole country freaked out; People were scared in a whole new way. It’s a different world.

[Life like] Change is fast and unpredictable, isn't it?

"I loved her against reason
Against promise
Against peace
Against hope
Against happiness
Against all discouragement there could be."

Will rest well tonight for a 36-hour (straight) starting tomorrow. Sigh.

Oh, love Grey's Anatomy's season finale.

"Read a lot. Read everything. Read...and Harper's and Reader's Digest. Read Wired and Fast Company and Fortune. Read the Bible. The person who doesn't read has no advantage over the person who doesn't know how. Read the papers. Read history. Read poetry. Read fiction. Replenish yourself. I never knew a wise man or woman who wasn't a big reader." -- Stephen "Steve" O. Frankfurt

"When they came for the Jews, I did nothing, for I am not a Jew. When they came for the Socialists, I did nothing, for I am not a Socialist. When they came for the labor leaders, the homosexuals, the gypsies, I did nothing, for I am none of these, and when they came for me, I was alone, there was no one to stand up for me." -- Martin Niemoller, a Lutheran pastor from Nazi Germany

Know that to stand for something or someone is always better than standing for nothing at all.
