Summary

This quote, often attributed to American writer and philosopher Anton Chekhov, is a cynical expression of distrust towards the medical profession. It suggests that both doctors and lawyers engage in acts of exploitation, but doctors have the added ability to harm patients through mistakes or negligence, leading to unnecessary deaths. While this quote reflects a negative viewpoint, it is important to remember that it serves as an exaggeration or provocation rather than an accurate representation of the medical profession as a whole.

Many of the rites of passage, those rituals of growing up found in our society, are in the form of such comic, practical joking affairs--which we ignore in the belief that they possess no deeper significance.

For in them we ritualize and dramatize attitudes which contradict and often embarrass the sacred values which we proclaim through our solemn ceremonies and rituals of nationhood.

In the end it was Tabby who cast the deciding vote, as she so often has at crucial moments in my life. I'd like to think I've done the same for her from time to time, because it seems to me that one of the things marriage is about is casting the tiebreaking vote when you just can't decide what you should do next.

All the rappers my age are getting Audemars and Rolexes. I want to find my own thing. That's why I travel the world - for me, that's my B-side, why we go places. I have a Hublot on from time to time but I want a home base watch - something that's elegant but has got a little pizzazz to it.
