I Didn't Know What I Was Doing

My Best Friends When I Was Young Were Always Doctors. I Used To Dress Up In A White Gauze Helmet And Go Round And See Babies Born And Cadavers Cut Open. This Fascinated Me, But I Could Never Bring Myself To Disciplining Myself To The Point Where I Could Learn All The Details That One Has To Learn To Be A Good Doctor. This Is The Sort Of Opposition: Somebody Who Deals Directly With Human Experiences, Is Able To Cure, To Mend, To Help, This Sort Of Thing.

Then I Decided I Would Spend The Summer Writing A Novel. That Would Fix A Lot Of People.

Let Me Live, Love And Say It Well In Good Sentences.

So Much Working, Reading, Thinking, Living To Do! A Lifetime Is Not Long Enough.

I May Never Be Happy, But Tonight I Am Content. At Times Like This I'd Call Myself A Fool To Ask For More.
