Elizabeth Gurley FlynnYou must be a deeply anxiety-ridden person, otherwise chain-smoking is not possible; chain-smoking is a by-product.

Adam SchiffThe true men of action in our time those who transform the world are not the politicians and statesmen but the scientists.

So that I, perhaps, come out even more "living" than you.
