Sometimes, you know, I can't help feeling that that's what it is.

Oh, gentlemen, perhaps I really regard myself as an intelligent man only because throughout my entire life I've never been able to start or finish anything.

But what's to be done if the sole and express purpose of every intelligent man is babble--that is, a deliberate pouring from empty into void.
