“Man is born broken. He lives by mending. The grace of God is glue.” – Playwright, Eugene O’Neill who died on this day in 1953
“Our world is driven by our remarkable ability to carefully measure and divide units of time. In a reasonable sense, the invention of clocks has had a greater effect on our lives than the invention of wheels. You can invent wheels relatively easily, if you live where trees fall over.” – Bill Nye (the Science Guy), born on this day in 1955
