The youth gets together his materials to build a bridge to the moon, or, perchance, a palace or temple on the earth, and, at length, the middle aged man concludes to build a woodshed with them.
~ Henry David Thoreau

I don't like this quote above. Not because of the despair of middle age. I don't like it because I worry that the middle aged man is building a woodshed so he has a place to go to give the youth a whippin' for taking the middle aged man's materials so the youth could build his bridge to the moon.
Which is probably why we STILL don't have a bridge to the moon.
