Only the half-mad are wholly alive. ~ The very poor are strictly materialistic. It takes money to be a mystic. ~ What our economists call a depressed area almost always turns out to be a cleaner, freer, more livable place than most. ~ Jack Kerouac, like a sick refrigerator, worked too hard at keeping cool and died on his mama's lap from alcohol and infantilism. ~ Longevity, like intelligence and good looks and health and strength of character, is largely a matter of genetic heritage. Choose your parents with care. ~
