“Some people say I make mistakes, I just say that in fact this is the secret of enjoying life. I hate monotony. Why don’t they leave me freedom of choice? People want to impose choices which aren’t necessarily mine. That’s the mistake people make.”

What gods was I serving? What masters was I serving? What was it all about?' and then try to be more instructive to people who will listen to you.
