“How many slams in an old screen door? Depends how loud you shut it. How many slices in a bread? Depends how thin you cut it. How much good inside a day? Depends how good you live 'em. How much love inside a friend? Depends how much you give 'em.”

― Umberto Eco, Foucault's Pendulum

“How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live.”
