Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're trying to be so quiet'. Visions of Johanna - Bob Dylan

If you want to keep your memories, you first have to live them.

Walkin' through the leaves fallin' from the trees, Feelin' like a stranger nobody sees...

Balzac was pretty funny. His philosophy is plain and simple, says basically that pure materialism is a recipe for madness. The only true knowledge for Balzac seems to be in superstition. Everything is subject to analysis. Horde your energy. That’s the secret of life. You can learn a lot from Mr. B. It’s funny to have him as a companion. He wears a monk’s robe and drinks endless cups of coffee. Too much sleep clogs up his mind. One of his teeth falls out, and he says, “What does this mean?” He questions everything. His clothes catch fire on a candle. He wonders if fire is a good sign. Balzac is hilarious.
