Like any human being, it gives a sense of unified individuality which no summary of its qualities can reproduce; and at the same time a sense of variety which is beyond satisfactory final analysis.”
—Donald Stauffer (b. 1930)
“A real hangover is nothing to try out family remedies on. The only cure for a real hangover is death.”
