From the Quotation of the day mailing list, 2005-12-10:

"I believe it's a sin to try and make things last forever
Everything that exists in time runs out of time some day
Got to let go of the things that keep you tethered
Take your place with grace and then be on your way."
-- Bruce Cockburn, from his song 'Mighty Trucks Of Midnight'.

Comment left here mainly because it's most appropriate. Here's a recommended QotD:

From http://www.gizmodo.net/gadgets/announcements/the-week-in-comments-190782.php

The Mohs scale is ordinal, by the way - it only tells you what's harder than what, not by how much. Calcite scores 3, diamond scores 10, but diamond is actually more than 160 times as hard as calcite. Note also that you can eventually scratch anything with anything, no matter how big the hardness difference is. You can drill through a steel plate with wooden dowels, if you've got enough patience {and dowels}.
