Basta, digli che non ci torni.

When we lose one we love, our bitterest tears are called forth by the memory of hours when we loved not enough. There is only one success - to be able to spend your life in your own way. The cloning of humans is on most of the lists of things to worry about from Science, along with behaviour control, genetic engineering, transplanted heads, computer poetry and the unrestrained growth of plastic flowers. Human beings have an inalienable right to invent themselves. Get away from the crowd when you can. Keep yourself to yourself, if only for a few hours daily. When we lose one we love, our bitterest tears are called forth by the memory of hours when we loved not enough. Ordinarily he was insane, but he had lucid moments when he was merely stupid.

I'm all in favor of keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of fools. Let's start with typewriters. Books...are like lobster shells, we surround ourselves with 'em, then we grow out of 'em and leave 'em behind, as evidence of our earlier stages of development. If you really do put a small value upon yourself, rest assured that the world will not raise your price. I like weights. You know where you stand with them. Well, sometimes you're lying under them, trying not to let them crush you, but you see, you KNOW they'd crush you if they could. There's honesty. Tragedy is when I cut my finger.

Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race. Everything of importance has been said before by somebody who did not discover it. People will buy anything that is one to a customer. One of the best rules in conversation is, never to say a thing which any of the company can reasonably wish had been left unsaid. Love is that splendid triggering of human vitality... the supreme activity which nature affords anyone for going out of himself toward someone else. A lifetime of happiness! No man alive could bear it: it would be hell on earth. I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.
