They can't hurt me. Sure, they can crush you and kill you. They can lay you out on 42nd and Broadway and put hoses on you and flush you in the sewers and put you on the subway and carry you out to Coney island and bury you on the Ferris wheel. But I refuse to sit here and worry about dying.

Thatโs its own kind of truth. Itโs like people who read Shakespeare plays, but they never see a Shakespeare play. I think they just use his name.
