“Early rising is no pleasure; early drinking’s just the measure.”
—François Rabelais (1494–1553)
“When I was in high school I thought a vocation was a particular calling. Here’s a voice: “Come, follow me.” My idea of a calling now is not: “Come.” It’s like what I’m doing right now, not what I’m going to be. Life is a calling.”
