Meir,
Maybe this is why I always studied better with music than with it completely
quiet. In humans, at least, there is definite variation, as my roommate
couldn't study unless it was quiet as a tomb.

An unreasonable man (but my wife says that's redundant!)
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress
depends on the unreasonable man.
