This reminds me of one of my all time favorite quotations, from "Brave
New World" by Aldous Huxley:
‘All right, then,’ said the Savage defiantly, ‘I’m claiming the right to
be unhappy.’
‘Not to mention the right to grow old and ugly and impotent; the right
to have syphilis and cancer; the right to have too little to eat; the
right to be lousy; the right to live in constant apprehension of what
may happen tomorrow; the right to catch typhoid; the right to be
tortured by unspeakable pains of every kind.’
There was a long silence.
‘I claim them all,’ said the Savage at last.
(Pg.273)
And I claim them all as well. Damn right!

hmmm. Are you critizing my poetry?
> One learns how, and where, and why to speak only by doing it.
> Revel in your mistakes. With a little inspection, even the absurd

Absolutly right! Do you mind if I quote you on this one?
