(my back hurts
my arms hurts
but i send a ONQ for you my lovers
)
Hope, like faith, is nothing if it is not courageous; it is
nothing if it is not ridiculous.
I do borrow from other writers, shamelessly! I can only say
in my defense, like the woman brought before the judge on a
charge of kleptomania, I do steal, but, your Honor, only from
the very best stores.
We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our
hearts are conscious of our treasures.
The test of an adventure is that when you're in the middle of
it, you say to yourself, "Oh, now I've got myself into an
awful mess; I wish I were sitting quietly at home." And the
sign that something's wrong with you is when you sit quietly
at home wishing you were out having lots of adventure.
I am convinced that, except in a few extraordinary cases, one
form or another of an unhappy childhood is essential to the
formation of exceptional gifts.
My advice to you is not to inquire why or whither, but just
enjoy your ice cream while it's on your plate - that's my philosophy.
