To be adult is to be alone (etre adulte, c'est etre seul). Being an optimist after you've got everything you want doesn't count. Where young boys plan for what they will achieve and attain, young girls plan for whom they will achieve and attain. In this world people have to pay an extortionate price for any exceptional gift whatever. Gross National Product is our Holy Grail. God will not look you over for medals, degrees or diplomas, but for scars. The first and great commandment is, don't let them scare you. Gone - glimmering through the dream of things that were. Give me the ready hand rather than the ready tongue. Take up the white man's burden - Send forth the best ye breed - Go bind your sons to exile To serve your captives' need. |
