I have sometimes been wildly despairingly acutely miserable racked with sorrow but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.

For if there is a sin against life it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life.

What other people call dark and despairing I call funny.

Habaneros have a great fruity flavor but the challenge is that you have to deflect the heat in order to taste the flavor. If you don't you're dead. They should really have a warning sign on them. Deflect the habanero's heat by pairing it with sweet food.

Beauty: the adjustment of all parts proportionately so that one cannot add or subtract or change without impairing the harmony of the whole.

At 13 I realized that I could fix anything electronic. It was amazing I could just do it. I started a business repairing radios. It grew to be one of the largest in Philadelphia.

One thing however is sure - that in all cases the effort should be to impose all the cost of repairing the wrong upon the doer of the wrong. This alone is real justice and of course such justice is necessarily free.
