“Within a few minutes the gin and beer took hold. Leo’s head became full of warm marmalade and the usual neurotic mental noise had dimmed to a mutter. So this is what the drunks are after, he thought.”

“It hurts me to hear, to see you got no faith in yourself
It bothers me now to watch you, you got no faith in your own self
You listen more to your friends than to your own heart inside
Well, you listen to them, oh but you hide
You don't got nothin' to be afraid of
You're not as bad as you think
And you're always puttin' yourself down
But I'm just gonna tell you that I like you
Darling, you always put yourself down, but I like you
That's all I came to say
Then there's no need to think that other people can do things better than you can do 'em
Cause you got the same power in you
I got faith in you. Sometimes you don't have it in yourself
But I got faith in you

And our time is right now, now we can do anything we really want to
Our time is now, here in the morning of our lives

And it ain't just me who thinks so, dear, I asked my friends
Now, Leroy and Asa and D. Sharpe
Tell her not to be afraid
Tell her it's okay
Tell her it's all right

And our time is now, we can do anything we really believe in
Our time is now, here in the morning of our lives

Dear, I asked Leroy and Asa and D. Sharpe, and they said
Don't you love her too?
Then tell her she's okay
Tell her she's all right
You're okay, dear. There's nothing to feel inferior about. You can do it

And our time is now, we can do anything you really believe in
I know it
Our time is now, here in the morning of our lives
Our time is right now, you can do anything you set your heart on
Our time is now, here in the morning of our lives

We're young now. Right now's when we can enjoy it
Now's the time for us to have faith in what we can do
No need to fear, cause now's the time to have faith in what we can do”
― Jonathan Richman

“History has already happened. We can’t do a damn thing about it. But we can be better. God, we can be better. I believe, as I hope you do, in a time one day—a while from now, but still attainably close—when the curses of poverty, misery, and death will seem as pointlessly tragic and avoidable as scurvy.  There is a long way to go yet, but we can get there. We can fucking get there. And it will be an honour to get there with you, or at least continue the brave walk towards adulthood our ancestors began millennia ago. Good luck out there and much, much love. Here come the wild twenties. See you on the other side.”

“Is there a more opulent society imaginable than one that builds spaceships while its population starves?”
