“One of the things that is most striking about the young generation is that they never talk about their own futures, there are no futures for this generation, not any of them and so naturally they never think of them. It is very striking, they do not live in the present they just live, as well as they can, and they do not plan. It is extraordinary that whole populations have no projects for a future, none at all.”
—Gertrude Stein (18741946)
“Lifes so short, Katie. You have to make every moment count. Its not easy to do, you know. I dont think that a day goes by when I dont turn my back on some small thing or some issue somewhere. But its so short, Katie. If youre not careful, the days go by and all you have time for is regret.”
—Blake Edwards (b. 1922)

—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
