Wednesday's Words of Wisdom

Great insight from the American humorist James Thurber (1894-1961):

"I loathe the expression 'What makes him tick.'
It is the American mind, looking for simple and
singular solution, that uses the foolish expression.
A person not only ticks, he also chimes and
strikes the hour, falls and breaks and has to
be put together again, and sometimes stops
like an electric clock in a thunderstorm."
