Regarding a farewell

I find myself intensely alive, and I want and hope in the time that remains to deepen my friendships, to say farewell to those I love, to write more, to travel if I have the strength, to achieve new levels of understanding and insight. This will involve audacity, clarity, and plain speaking; trying to straighten my accounts with the world. But there will be time, too, for some fun (and even some silliness, as well).

Regarding “losing time”

The cities are increasingly big garages, with people every time more frantic. One has to be very rich to have time in the cities. And if something a writer or a mere idler who enjoys reflecting needs, is time. More than paper, pencil, or computer, he needs time. What a foolish expression it is to say: “you are losing time.” One can never lose time. May be someone who is counting bills does, as he does not have time to see in what he will spend them.

Regarding the important things

There are two important things in life: one is sex and the other one I do not remember.                                                                                                                                                                                                              Woody Allen
