Quote of the Day (William James, on the Range of Emotions)

“There is no limit to the number of possible different emotions which may exist, and why the emotions of different individuals may vary indefinitely, both as to their constitution and as to objects which call them forth.”— American philosopher William James (1842-1910), The Principles of Psychology (1890)

Song Lyric of the Day (Elvis Costello, on Friends’ Attitudes)

“Some of my friends sit around every evening
And they worry about the times ahead

But everybody else is overwhelmed by indifference
And the promise of an early bed.” —"Radio, Radio,” written by rock-and-roller Elvis Costello, performed by Elvis Costello and the Attractions on the LP This Year's Model (1978)
