For people who may think they know, or have snippets of who I am, you can attack that person. That’s part of being a public figure. – Tom Brady
With spectacular events taking up so much of the available anxiety quotient, we need to be constantly reminded of the more workaday threats to our mortality – threats that, while they may also be functions of human error, have become so ubiquitous that we’ve begun to apprehend them as natural phenomena. – Will Self
