A high station in life is earned by the gallantry with which appalling experiences are survived with grace.
There is a time for departure even when there's no Marlon Brando: "Stella!" and Kim Hunter in
certain place to go. "A Streetcar Named Desire".
Life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quickly you hardly catch it going.
