Everything will be all right in the end, if it's not all right then it's not the end – Sonny Kapoor
There's no road has not a star above it – Ralph Waldo Emerson

"The total collapse of the public opinion polls shows that the country is in good health. A country that developed an airtight system of finding out in advance what was in people's minds would be uninhabitable. Luckily, we do not face any such emergency. The so-called science of poll-taking is not a science at all but mere necromancy. People are unpredictable by nature, and although you can take a nation's pulse, you can't be sure that the nation hasn't just run up a flight of stairs, and although you can take a nation's blood pressure, you can't be sure that if you come back in twenty minutes you'd get the same reading. This is a damn fine thing." He added: "We are proud of America for clouding up the crystal ball, for telling one thing to a poll-taker, another thing to a voting machine. This is an excellent land." - Not 2016 but a quote from Writings From The New Yorker 1925-1976 By E. B. White and quoted in the New York Times 19 December 1990.
