I Can't Help Feeling That There Is

A Paranoiac, Like A Poet, Is Born, Not Made.

The Bar... Is An Exercise In Solitude. Above All Else, It Must Be Quiet, Dark, Very Comfortable-and, Contrary To Modern Mores, No Music Of Any Kind, No Matter How Faint. In Sum, There Should Be No More Than A Dozen Tables, And A Client That Doesn't Like To Talk.

Age Is Something That Doesn't Matter Unless You're A Cheese

Repeat, Over And Over Again, In Case Anyone Forgets It Or Believes The Contrary, That We Do Not Live In The Best Of All Possible Worlds.

Our Memory Is Our Coherence, Our Reason, Our Feeling, Even Our Action. Without It, We Are Nothing.
