Oh, Love Is Real Enough;

Have You Noticed That Life, With Murders And Catastrophes And Fabulous Inheritances, Happens Almost Exclusively In Newspapers?

Life Isn't What You Think It Is. It's Like Water, And The Young Let It Trickle Away Between Their Fingers Without Even Noticing. Cup Your Hands, Keep It Safe. Life Eventually Becomes Something Else, Something Hard, Something Simple, Something You Can Hold In Your Hand And Nibble On Contentedly As You Sit In The Sun.

There Is Love Of Course. And Then There's Life, Its Enemy.

Are You In Earnest? Seize This Very Minute! Boldness Has Genius, Power, And Magic In It. Only Engage, And Then The Mind Grows Heated. Begin, And Then The Work Will Be Completed.

I Don't Want People To Love Me. It Makes For Obligations.
