Nixon wasn't really considered the president by the youth of America. He was considered to be a fraud and which he proved himself to be.

Life passes most people by while they're making grand plans for it.

I hope there's a life after life - and maybe I can even come back again and get on another train, and ride and gain some more wisdom.

People don't grow up to become thrill junkies - they're born like that.

That's a terrible price to pay because you loved life so much, with the intensity of a thousand suns, and the women and all of it - and then it's all taken away from you. You end up walking the hallways of always to a place called tedium and apathy, day after day after day. Years go by.

So in the end, was it worth it? Jesus Christ. How irreparably changed my life has become. It's always the last day of summer and I've been left out in the cold with no door to get back in. I'll grant you I've had more than my share of poignant moments. Life passes most people by while they're making grand plans for it. Throughout my lifetime, I've left pieces of my heart here and there. And now, there's almost not enough to stay alive. But I force a smile, knowing that my ambition far exceeded my talent. There are no more white horses or pretty ladies at my door.

May the wind always be at your back and the sun upon your face, and the winds of destiny carry you aloft to dance with the stars.
