A writer must “know and have an ever-present consciousness that this world is a world of fools and rogues… tormented with envy, consumed with vanity; selfish, false, cruel, cursed with illusions… He should free himself of all doctrines, theories, etiquettes, politics…” —Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914?). “The nobility of the writer's occupation lies in resisting oppression, thus in accepting isolation” —Albert Camus (1913-1960). “What are you gonna do” —Bertha Brown (1895-1987).
There are places I’ll remember All my life, though some have changed Some forever, not for better Some have gone, and some remain
All these places had their moments With lovers and friends, I still can recall Some are dead, and some are living In my life, I’ve loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers There is no one who compares with you And these memories lose their meaning When I think of love as something new
Though I know I’ll never lose affection For people and things that went before I know I often stop and think about them In my life, I’ll love you more
Though I know I’ll never lose affection For people and things that went before I know I often stop and think about them In my life, I’ll love you more In my life, I’ll love you more

When I think of love as something new
Though I know I’ll never lose affection
