Quote of the day

The supportive care that we're able to provide in the United States is so much better, so much more sophisticated, than what's available in West Africa. . . .

After the one extravagant gesture of creation in the first place, the universe has continued to deal exclusively in extravagances, flinging intricacies and colossi down aeons of emptiness, heaping profusions on profligacies with ever-fresh vigor.
