QUOTE FOR THE oh, I don't know, WEEK? By far the best simile I've encountered in a long time:
"I was still serfing away at grad school. My friends and I assumed that we would soon be tenured professors, which is an excellent life goal--it's like planning to be Cher. You think, I'm going to wear white beads and fringed gowns, and sing 'Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves' on the way to work every morning, and then one day, I'm going to get a call saying, 'Congratulations! You're Cher! Can you make it to Vegas by showtime?'"

"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
