Paradox Redux

What makes me happy is to wish that I had been... And yet I don't wish that I had been... For if I had been..., I would not have been able to wish that I had been..., would I?

Similarly, it would have made me happy to have been a has been, but I haven't been anything to have been a has been, so I constantly dream I will have been a will been. Which is kind of a paradox for someone who never has been.

The combination of a comma after an ellipsis gives me funny feelings in the head.

crp, well, if you dream, you are, and therefore will be a has been, not to mention having been a has been.

So you're going to be happy.

John Van Horne: I'm just an untalented old has-been.
Dorothy: Were you ever famous?
John Van Horne: No.
Dorothy: Then how can you be a has-been?
