Text of the day: “How easy it is to stop living. Not to die, but to stop being alive. There’s nothing incredible apart from that. No mystery. No magic. No dreams. No miracles. Nothing. Just freak accidents and freaks. Darwin got it all wrong, you see. Fitness has got nothing to do with it. It’s survival of the sickest. That’s all. You know why the ghost train is so popular? Because there ain’t any ghosts.” (Cosmo in Philip Ridley’s The Pitchfork Disney)
