Be wicked, be brave, be drunk, be reckless, be dissolute, be despotic,
be an anarchist, be a religious fanatic, be a suffragette, be anything you like, but for pity's sake be it to the top of your bent. Live-- live fully, live passionately, live disastrously au besoin.
Violet Trefusis to Vita Sackville-West, October 1918

"Always be drunk.
That's it!
The great imperative!
In order not to feel
Time's horrid fardel
bruise your shoulders,
grinding you into the earth,
Get drunk and stay that way.
On what?
On wine, poetry, virtue, whatever.
But get drunk."
- Charles Baudelaire

Thank you for your subscription to THE SINATRAIST! We're sure you'll be please with every episode of this THRILLING serial that will keep you ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT! (Or on the floor, if you choose our Gold Martini Option). Further, Dr. Gogol has instructed me to add you to his own friend's list. "It was the Oscar Wilde excerpt and that photo of her painting," he rambled to us. We took the hint and increased his medication! Congratulations on this SUPREME compliment!

words of wisdom, Lloyd, words-of-wisdom.
Before my wife and I started living together, she gave me a T-shirt her department (english, of course) was selling to raise money. I was a quote by Mark Twain:
"I never let Schoolin' get in the way of my education."
I have no idea why your quote made me think of that.

Re:
Oliver Orange, actually.
Orange comes from H's Great^4 grandfather. He was a man who was disowned by his wealthy Boston family for marrying a Catholic girl...
During the course of his life, he tried to get rich doing many things, not the least of which was the CA gold rush.
