“—But he, grim grinning King,
Who caitiffs scorns, and doth the blest surprise,
Late having deck’d with beauty’s rose his tomb,
Disdains to crop a weed, and will not come.”

—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“The prime purpose of being four is to enjoy being four—of secondary importance is to prepare for being five.”
