Teaser Tuesday

from page 7 of Earth Abides, by George R. Stewart:

"It has never happened!" cannot be construed to mean, "It can never happen!" -as well say, "Because I have never broken my leg, my leg is unbreakable," or "Because I have never died, I am immortal."

This is not my current read, but it was handy and I've always liked it.
