- If you believe everything you read, you'd better not read. -- Japanese Proverb
- A few friends were traveling along the road by the sea, and saw what they thought was a great ship, sailing far off on the horizen.

And when it finally came in to the beach, it turned out to be just a bundle of sticks. "Well," said one, "that was a waste of time." -- Aesop's fable, retold by me.
- The world will come to an end, but music and love will endure -- Gaelic saying, loosely translated.
