A bottle of wine was good company.

The story was writing itself and I was having a hard time keeping up with it.

And this was the price you paid for sleeping together.

Night life is when everybody says what the hell and you do not remember who paid the bill.

And another thing. Don’t ever kid yourself about loving some one. It is just that most people are not lucky enough ever to have it. You never had it before and now you have it. What you have with Maria, whether it lasts just through today and a part of tomorrow, or whether it lasts for a long life is the most important thing that can happen to a human being. There will always be people who say it does not exist because they cannot have it. But I tell you it is true and that you have it and that you are lucky even if you die tomorrow.

The world is a fine place and worth the fighting for and I hate very much to leave it.

Going to another country doesn’t make any difference. I’ve tried all that. You can’t get away from yourself by moving from one place to another. There’s nothing to that.
