Maybe At 20 You Can Write Well,

Forty Is ... An Age At Which People Have Histories And Options. At Thirty, They Had Perhaps Less History. At Fifty, Perhaps Fewer Options.

Values Are Not Trendy Items That Are Casually Traded In.

Welfare Is ... The Victim Of National Compassion Fatigue.

I Regard This Novel As A Work Without Redeeming Social Value, Unless It Can Be Recycled As A Cardboard Box.

Ultimately, Time Is All You Have And The Idea Isn't To Save It, But To Savour It.
