Yip Harburg Quote of the Day

Just a random quote from my favorite Broadway lyricist, Yip Harburg. From the flop musical Flahooley, a genie muses on the contradictions of the system by which scarcity creates value:


When people magically beget
All that on which their hearts are set,
Then, having got a better lot,
They cannot get what they begot.
