Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. Hellen Keller (thanks to http://www.heartquotes.net/monthly-Apr-2002.html).
