“Careful accounts make for long friendships.”
—Chinese proverb.
“We count the courtesies accorded us by unpopular people as offenses.”

“To divide one’s life by years is of course to tumble into a trap set by our own arithmetic. The calendar consents to carry on its dull wall-existence by the arbitrary timetables we have drawn up in consultation with those permanent commuters, Earth and Sun. But we, unlike trees, need grow no annual rings.”
