Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body.

Just sick enough to be totally confident

Though I was careful never to mention it, I began to see a new dimension in everything that happened.

All advice can only be a product of the man who gives it.

There is no story unless you've written it.

Most of my friends are into strange things I don't really understand - and with a few shameful exceptions I wish them all well. Who am I, after all, to tell some friend he shouldn't change his name to Oliver High, get rid of his family, and join a Satanism cult in Seattle? Or to argue with another friend who wants to buy a single-shot Remington Fireball so he can go out and shoot cops from a safe distance?

It was one of those fine little love stories that can make you smile in your sleep at night.
