• It is easy to forget now, how effervescent and free we all felt that summer. Everything fades: the shimmer of gold over White Cove; the laughter in the night air; the lavender early morning light on the faces of skyscrapers, which had suddenly become so heroically tall.

And so I will try to tell you, while I still remember, how it was then, before everything changed-that final season of the era that roared.

• Laughter is spiritual health. And laughter is very unburdening. While you laugh, you can put your mind aside very easily. For a man who cannot laugh the doors of the buddha are closed.

They have always been insisting on seriousness, and because of their insistence the whole world is psychologically sick.
