Quotation of the day

Daily Quote:
"Smile and others will smile back. Smile to show how transparent, how candid you are. Smile if you have nothing to say. Most of all, do not hide the fact you have nothing to say nor your total indifference to others. Let this emptiness, this profound indifference shine out spontaneously in your smile." (Baudrillard, Jean - Smile)

And the old people we respect most are the ones who will fight for their independence, who would sooner starve to death than ask for help.
So live that you can look any man in the eye and tell him to go to hell.
