It is one thing to play for your university. It is another to play for your country.
We're all hypocrites. We all say one thing and do another. But why don't we try to do what we say more than what we don't?
When you consider it from a human perspective, and clearly it would be difficult for us to do otherwise, life is an odd thing. It couldn't wait to get going, but then, having gotten going, it seemed in very little hurry to move on.
Living is a thing you do now or never which do you?
I have been merely oppressed by the weariness and tedium and vanity of things lately: nothing stirs me, nothing seems worth doing or worth having done: the only thing that I strongly feel worth while would be to murder as many people as possible so as to diminish the amount of consciousness in the world.
