Some Lesser Husbands Built A Latrine On

Life Is A Helluva Thing. You Can See Trouble Coming And You Can't Do A Damn Thing To Prevent It Coming. You Just Got To Sit And Watch And Wait.

The Past Has To Be Seen To Be Dead; Or The Past Will Kill.

Out Of Its Squalor And Human Decay, Its Eruptions Of Butchery, India Produced So Many People Of Grace And Beauty, Ruled By Elaborate Courtesy. Producing Too Much Life, It Denied The Value Of Life; Yet It Permitted A Unique Human Development To So Many. Nowhere Were People So Heightened, Rounded And Individualistic; Nowhere Did They Offer Themselves So Fully And With Such Assurance. To Know Indians Was To Take A Delight In People As People; Every Encounter Was An Adventure. I Did Not Want India To Sink [out Of My Memory]; The Mere Thought Was Painful.

What Was Past Was Past. I Suppose That Was The General Attitude.

The Only Lies For Which We Are Truly Punished Are Those We Tell Ourselves.
