It's over - but not quite, for the port engine, just as if it knew, as if reluctant at the last to let me go, kicked, kicked, and kicked again, as overheated engines will, then backfired with an angry snorting: Fool! The best is over ...But I did not hear.
Cecil Arthur Lewis

It's never been integral to the story that I take my clothes off. I've always had clauses in my contracts saying no nudity and no body doubles...

It's not a moral judgement, I've just never felt comfortable doing it - I'm too modest.

Vladimir Lenin
-
Civilization has taught man how to live in dense crowds, and by that very fact those crowds are likely ultimately to constitute a majority of the world’s population. Already there are many who prefer this crowded life, but there are others who do not, and these will gradually be eliminated.
