Wisdom pointed out by my old
friend Jim Jenkins: “Oh, there are a lot of lousy people in the world. Also, a
lot of terrific people. You've gotta remember that, and you've got to move in
the right circles. I have days where I just want everyone to go fuck themselves
or walk off a cliff, but I only say that to myself, and I smile and I walk home
and I have some tea, I talk to Garson [Kanin, her husband], I might take a nap.
Then I wake up and I write, and in writing, I wipe away all the unpleasantness
of the day, of the people, of the city, whatever. We have it in our power to
overcome assholes, and I think we have them thrown into our path to see if we
have the chops to handle them. Handle them.”
