And I know that up to now my brain has checked out chronometrically perfect, a mechanism without a speck of dust.

I usually say the aim of life is to be happy. Our existence is based on hope. Our life is rooted in the opportunity to be happy, not necessarily wealthy, but happy within our own minds.

Their take on iconic menswear emerges from that matrix.
William Gibson

Every victory of man over man has in itself a taste of defeat....
