Perfect Society Is Always Elsewhere
What is it?
The Khajiit/Khajiiti proverb/saying about the name/naming of Elsweyr from The Elder Scrolls video game franchise/lore.
Here is the quote according to Fandom:
The name “Elsweyr” arose from an old Khajiiti proverb that went along the lines of: “perfect society is always elsewhere.”.

But Can You Beat Me In Fighting?
All that I can remember of this dream is that it involved either a female alien or a female humanoid entity or a strange woman.
At some point the female alien/entity or woman met a man who looked like or was a younger version (maybe him from the 1970s) of John Travolta, and at some point they were in maybe a 1950s style diner (with maybe some modern updates) talking.
The John Travolta-like man was the lady’s man type, and was flirting a bit maybe and/or was just pretty confident and cool.
I was in the dream at this point, and somehow she learned about (someone one told her about it) a quote/saying/motto/slogan/quip/phrase that maybe my former male classmate AJ (who died recently) used to say sometimes in response to people in certain situations which was:
But can you beat me in fighting?
He and/or another one of my former male classmates liked to use that phrase to win an argument if all else fails. 😀
The alien or woman and the John Travolta-like man were still talking as I listened and did whatever I was doing there, but that is all that I can remember of this dream.
The end,

Some m###########s are always trying to ice-skate uphill.
Today’s quote is a quote from lines 207 – 210 of the verse epistle / poem Eloisa To Abelard by Alexander Pope:
How happy is the blameless vestal’s lot?
The world forgetting, by the world forgot:
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each prayer accepted, and each wish resigned;
–Alexander Pope | Eloisa To Abelard | 207 – 210
I first heard this quote during a scene in the movie Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind when it was said by the character Mary Svevo (played by Kirsten Dunst) to the character Dr. Howard Mierzwiak (played by Tom Wilkinson):
