F

R

A
You want the unvarnished and ungarnished truth, and I'm no hand for that. I'm a lawyer.
N
Men deceive themselves; they look back on the children who were once themselves, and attempt to reconstruct them. But they can no longer think like the child . . .
K
Life is a little work, a little sleep, a little love and it is all over.
