Just think, the shoes I wouldnโt be caught dead in might actually turn out to be the shoes I am caught dead in.
David RakoffThere are many things in this world that are an outrage, to be sure, but death at our current life expectancy doesnโt strike me as one of them. Maybe I sound like some Victorian who felt that forty years ought to be enough for any man, but one of the marks of a life well lived has to be reaching a state of finally getting it, of not needing more, and of being able to sign off with something approaching peace of mind.
David RakoffEverybody's got something. In the end, what choice does one really have but to understand that truth, to really take it in, and then shop for groceries, get a haircut, do one's work; get on with the business of one's life. That's the hope, anyway.
