Willy Wonka There's no earthly way of knowing which direction we are going. There's no knowing where we're rowing, or which way the river's flowing. Is it raining? is it snowing? is a hurricane a-blowing? Not a speck of light is showing, so the danger must be growing, AND THEY'RE CERTAINLY NOT SHOWING ANY SIGNS THAT THEY ARE SLOWING!!! Willy Wonka 'Round the world and home again, that's the sailor's way! [From "Homeward Bound" by William Allington.] Willy Wonka You should never, never doubt what nobody is sure about. [A quote from "The Microbe" by Hilaire Belloc.]
