1. Why?

    Why? This is why -

    Rosencrantz: I don’t believe in it anyway.
    Guildenstern: What?
    Rosencrantz: England.
    Guildenstern: Just a conspiracy of cartographers, then?

    Tom Stoppard - “Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead”

    Or Alternately - 

    Damn everything but the circus!

    …damn everything that is grim, dull,
    motionless, unrisking, inward turning,
    damn everything that won’t get into the
    circle, that won’t enjoy, that won’t throw
    its heart into the tension, surprise, fear
    and delight of the circus, the round
    world, the full existence…

     -  e.e. cummings

    …that’s why.
