He took a sip of the drink. He wasn't sure whether he liked it or not, but at this moment it didn't matter.

I come from a tribe of head-hunters, so I will never need a shrink.
If you come to a fork in the road, take it.
I guess we could discuss the implications of the phrase "meant to be." That is if we wanted to drown ourselves in a sea of backwardly referential semantics and other mumbo-jumbo. Maybe such a discussion would result in the determination that "meant to be" is exactly as meaningless a phrase as it seems to be, and that none of us is actually meant to be doing anything at all.

He didn't understand why the bird wanted to ride the bicycle.
**Glad to see the charismatic Chris Christie return to the big stage?**
**More recently, Dick Cheney expressed the same idea more pithily: “We don’t negotiate with evil;**
**"If we're going to be big-government liberals, which I am, we have to be for big government that works, or we're going to lose to the right-wingers who want to devolve everything." Rhee, in our interview, sounds a similar note.**
**One contemporary journalist described the tent colonies as “the outward sign of civil war.” Almost 100 years later, the attention of the country was once again galvanized by a tent city—this one in Zuccotti Park, a few blocks away from the New York Stock Exchange.**
