    You think you’re the only guy that ever got a kick in the teeth? Well you’re not. It’s happening every day and it’s gonna keep right on happenin’ till this thing’s over. And you, you can sit here and feel sorry for yourself, or you can come on out with me and see how nice people are when they’re alive.
    Dalton Trumbo (1905–1976)

    C’est à Paris que je me coiffe
    Casque noir de jemenfoutiste.
