“The Impossible Generalized Man today is the critic who believes in loving those unworthy of love as well as those worthy /yet believes this only insofar as no personal risk is entailed. Meaning he loves no one, worthy or no. This is what makes him impossible.”
“Never play cards with any man named "Doc." Never eat at any place called "Mom's." And never, never, no matter what else you do in your whole life, never sleep with anyone whose troubles are worse than your own.”
