"It's a funny thing about humility, as soon as you know you're being humble, you're no longer humble. It's a funny thing about life, you've got to give up your life to be alive...It's a funny thing about pride, when you're being proud, you should be ashamed...you find only pain if you seek after pleasure - you work like a slave if you seek after leisure." -T-Bone Burnett
