You can steal my women but don't play with my whiskey.

Sex is interesting, but it's not totally important. I mean it's not even as important (physically) as excretion. A man can go seventy years without a piece of ass, but he can die in a week without a bowel movement.

Most people's deaths are a sham. There's nothing left to die.

a good book can make an almost impossible existence, liveable ( from 'the luck of the word' )

if you think they didn't go crazy in tiny rooms just like you're doing now without women without food without hope then you're not ready.

and even the trees we walked under seemed less than trees and more like everything else.

Most people are not ready for death, theirs or anybody elses.
