“each man must realize
that it can all disappear very
quickly:
the cat, the woman, the job,
the front tire,
the bed, the walls, the
room; all our necessities
including love,
rest on foundations of sand —

no matter how unrelated:
the death of a boy in Hong Kong
or a blizzard in Omaha . . .

and you'll answer: I don't know,
I don't know . . .
— PULL A STRING, A PUPPET MOVES . . .”

he has set out to do and a madman does exceptionally well at what he can't help doing.”

“Learn, he says, that there will be hours, days
and months ahead of feeling absolutely terrible
and nothing can change that; neither new
girlfriends, health professionals, changes of diet, dope, humility, or

“My objection to war was not that I had to kill somebody or be killed senselessly, that hardly mattered. What I objected to was to be denied the right to sit in a small room and starve and drink cheap wine and go crazy in my own way and at my own leisure.”
