Reminds me of the physician in Hitchcock's The Trouble With Harry. Remember him stumbling over the corpse a couple times with nose in book?

From high on a hill consider the hurried city now far into the night hours below, as far above all the wondering of busy man the stars remain; be humble, the sky has opened the depths of unfathomable galleries of life and death.

"The majority of people perform well in a crisis and when the spotlight is on them; it's on the Sunday afternoons of this life, when nobody is looking, that the spirit falters."

My quote is inspired by a story 4E told me as we were lunching in his favourite eatery, The House of Pies. He said Orson Welles used to come in here and order a whole cocoanut cream pie, sit in that booth over there and eat it all.
"Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what's for lunch."
- Orson Welles
