“All the world’s a stage, but the play is badly cast.” It was from an H.G. Wells story (don’t recall the name of it). At the time, I felt I was being forced into doing things I didn’t want to do and had no control over my life. Teenage nonsense, of course. ---

“If you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas.” Interestingly, 40 years later, my schnoodle currently has a bad case of fleas, and some are making their way onto me. Kinda wish I chose a better prophesy to be correct about. ---

If I remember correctly, it was a line from a Led Zeppelin song, though I’m not sure which one. I know that I attributed it to a classmate, rather than Messrs. Page & Plant, as an in-joke. ---
