Flashbacks of a Fool

He had a rare gift, Joe. He knew his place in the world. He found wonder in simple things. He lived in the moment like a child. That's a rare gift in a man.

How could you choose between Bryan Ferry and David Bowie? They're gods.

I always wonder what old people looked like when they were young. It just makes me sad. Cos it's all gone, and you think, "How cruel." I suppose if you really concentrated... you might be able to imagine the old people you know as young. But it's really hard. Cos all I can see
is that they're old, ill, ugly... And their life's over.

When I was a child, I thought being brave meant that you had to take action. That to have a dream or get forward in life, you needed courage. But the only thing you need courage for is for standing still.
