It's a pleasant thing to be young, and have ten toes. I've a grand memory for forgetting. The world has no room for cowards. Many's the long night I've dreamed of cheese - toasted, mostly. The little rift between the sexes is astonishingly widened by simply teaching one set of catchwords to the girls and another to the boys. Once you are married, there is nothing left for you, not even suicide. Peace is the one condition of survival in this nuclear age. Politics is perhaps the only profession for which no preparation is thought necessary. Some people swallow the universe like a pill; they travel on through the world, like smiling images pushed from behind. The best things in life are nearest: Breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of right just before you. Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life's plain, common work as it comes, certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things in life. |
