Each day is perfect to accept with indifference all aspects of being."

"The fools ran after me and I ran after the whores, foolish though I realized such a proceeding to be."
Fool
"With two people and luggage on board she draws four inches of water. Two canoe paddles will move her along at a speed reasonable enough in moderate currents."

"I have heard of novels started in the middle, at the end, written in patches to be joined together later, but I have never felt the slightest desire to do this."
