“I decided that giving a girl a ring when you're not in a serious relationship is sort of like giving a guy a blow job when you have no real feelings for him. It makes everything feel a little cheap. It cheapens the giver and the recipient.”

You know that I'm the girl that you should call.But when you're with me,

So you can have your cake,
Give you something good to celebrate.”

“You have to take advantage of the opportunities that life gives you, particularly the moments in time when you have time, when you're between jobs or you retire.”

Angus King (1944) United States Senator from Maine

Bowdoin Academic Spotlight interview (2011)
Context: You have to take advantage of the opportunities that life gives you, particularly the moments in time when you have time, when you're between jobs or you retire. Get out and go. I think most of us are way too intense. We need to take a deep breath and do things that maybe don't fit the normal picture of what we're supposed to do at that stage of life. In some ways, this book is one big argument for just plain loosening up.
