“If anybody comes to I,
I physics, bleeds, and sweats’em;
If, after that, they like to die,
Why, what care I, I lets ‘em.”

“Our family talked a lot at table, and only two subjects were taboo: politics and personal troubles. The first was sternly avoided because Father ran a nonpartisan daily in a small town, with some success, and did not wish to express his own opinions in public, even when in private.”
—M.F.K. Fisher (1908–1992)
