I
wake up every morning at nine and grab for the
morning paper. Then I look at the obituary page.
If my name is not on it, I get up.
-- Harry
Hershfield
Every man who has lived for fifty years has
buried a whole world or even two; he has grown
used to its disappearance and accustomed to the
new scenery of another act: but suddenly the
names and faces of a time long dead appear more
and more often on his way, calling up series of
shades and pictures kept somewhere, ''just in
case,'' in the endless catacombs of the memory,
making him smile or sigh, and sometimes almost
weep.
-- Alexander
Herzen
1812-1870,
Russian Journalist, Political Thinker
