Effective Average Action

    Basically, I have no place in organized politics. By coming to the British Parliament, I’ve allowed the people to sacrifice me at the top and let go the more effective job I should be doing at the bottom.

    Personally, I can’t see why it would be any less romantic to find a husband in a nice four-color catalogue than in the average downtown bar at happy hour.
    Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)

    We have seen the city; it is the gibbous
    Mirrored eye of an insect. All things happen
    On its balcony and are resumed within,
    But the action is the cold, syrupy flow
    Of a pageant.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
