...unless boethiusnd below can tell me where it came from? did you read it anywhere?

Hmm, sorry to tell you folks, but I've been through two different translations of the consolation of philosophy and this section isn't in either. Tony Wilson seems a bit of a con artist and he's done it again :) Boethius mentions a wheel going around and refers to it as a 'wheel of fortune' which is why Tony Wilson mentions it when hosting the eponymous TV show. The real reference is to his TV career it seems and the quote was embellished, well actually just totally made up for the film!

Wow, I love you YouTube, and you anonymous uploader. I haven't seen this movie for years, and I just randomly remember this scene. And I search. And here it is.
