GOOD TO BE GOD

you feel wrong about throwing away that act of decency, as if it doesn’t matter (although it doesn’t – does it?).

If you said to me, I’ll give you a hundred grand if you could talk about it for fifty minutes, I’d certainly try, but I’d run out after ten or so. Marysia gabbles on about 135
