Their own private life gets to be like a rat race.
- Christopher Morley, Kitty Foyle (1939)
Like a rat in a maze,
the path before me lies.
And the pattern never alters,
until the rat dies.
- Simon & Garfunkel
Do you know anyone who has ever won the rat race? This question deserves more than a chuckle, because, upon reflection, most of us will have to acknowledge we really don't know anyone who has.
If that's the case, then why do we compete in an unwinnable race?
- Patrick Morley, The Man in the Mirror, 22 (1997)
