celine (Robert Fullmer):
All in all, I'd rather have never been born.
As it stands, I guess I'd rather be dead.
The future seems like an empty wasteland,
rolling off to infinity, and at the same time
much, much too short.
What a bother this life business is!

This summer and fall, sending me electronic mail will be a bad way to get in
touch with me. Chances are slim that I will be using my account before I re-
turn to MIT sometime in late January or early February '91. If it's important,
write or call at the above addresses. Thanks!

jcbourne (Juliet C Bourne):
From "Spirals" by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle
When you have a moral dilemma, get drunk. It's not the world's best
rule, but it is an old one: the Persians used the technique in
classical times. I tried it.
------
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can't change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.

jtidwell (Jenifer P. Tidwell):
And my radio says tonight it's gonna freeze
People driving home from the factories
There's six lanes of traffic
three lanes moving slow...
I used to like to go to work but they shut it down
I've got a right to go to work but there's no work here to be found
Yes, and they say we're gonna have to pay what's owed
We're gonna have to reap from some seed that's been sowed
And the birds up on the wires and the telegraph poles
They can always fly away from this rain and this cold
You can hear them singing out their telegraph code
all the way down the telegraph road

lwvanels (Lucien W. Van Elsen):
I know a oouple-
She sits in a rocking chair
Working puzzles, he watches TV upstairs
She's got a secret she has never let out
A man she thinks he never knew about
She hasn't seen him in thirty years-
The mention of his name doesn't bring on tears
If you ask her if there are any regrets,
She'll tell you no, but she never forgets
It was the kind of love you never recover from
Even though she found another one to take his place
She never will escape the truth
At times like this, when the moon is right
When the air is foggy like it is tonight
She'll think about what might have been
If she had just hung on to him
I know a man who has done it all
He's sailed the oceans, climbed the mountains of Nepal
He lives high upon the avenue,
With a beautful wife, lovely children too-
But there's a woman he still dreams about
Certain things he's learned to live without
If you ask him, are there any regrets
He'll tell you no, but he never forgets
It was the kind of love you never recover from
Even though he found another one to take her place
He never will escape the truth
At times like this, when the moon is right
When the air is foggy like it is tonight
He'll think about what might have been
If he had not let her slip away from him.
I read about a woman who said
ahe'd never regretted anything she'd ever done
such arrogant words seem to be spoken
by those who then die young.
So here am I, looking at you-
Oh tell me, what are we going to do?
Am I destined to be a regret
Are you that one I'll never forget?
Years from now, will we curse the day
You let me let you walk away
Isn't this too dear a price to pay
For the freedom of going separate ways?
This is the kind of love you never rever from
Don't tell me that I'm going to find another one
to take your place
And try to face the truth
Let me hold you close tonight-
The fog is lifted, the moon is so bright
Think how sweet life could be
If you would stay with me, oh stay with me
This is the kind of love you never rever from
This is the kind of love you never rever from

tron (Andrew H Cytron):
Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
The Lord of the Rings
J.R.R. Tolkien
