One of Robert's favorite quotes is:"All you need to know about life is retained in those four (a pack of cigarettes) walls . You will notice that one of your personalities is seduced by the illusions of grandeur - the gold packet of king size with a regal insignia, an attractive implication towards grandeur and wealth, the subtle suggestion that cigarettes are indeed your royal and loyal friends, and that, Pete, is a lie. Your other personality is trying to draw your attention to the flip side of the discussion: written in boring bold black and white, it's a statement that these neat little soldiers of death are in fact trying to kill you and that, Pete, is the truth. Oh, beauty is a beguiling call to death and I'm addicted to the sweet pitch of its siren. That that starts sweet ends bitter, and that which starts bitter ends sweet. That is why you and I love the drugs, and that is also why I cannot give that painting back. Now please, pass me a light.
“I was born to be famous, but it took decades for me to convey this entitlement to an indifferent world and suspicious job centers—both presumed me a nitwit, possibly with good reason as I was brilliantly disguised as a scruff-bag.” – Russell Brand

"I like a good beer buzz early in the morning..." (Sheryl Crow)
"I am not afraid of death, I just don't want to be there when it happens." " (Woody Allen)
"We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, laughers, screamers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get into locked a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge, and I knew we'd get into that rotten stuff pretty soon." (from Hunter S Thompson or if that means nothing to you it's the opening line of Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas)
"The World is like a book and those who do not travel read only a page" (St. Augustine)
"Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'Sir' without adding, 'You're making a scene." (Homer Simpson)
“Context and memory play powerful roles in all the truly great meals in one's life.” (Anthony Bourdain)
Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself - and especially to feel. Or, not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is. : JIM MORRISON - I Agree. And I have such good friends: Bob Bourgeois.

“Contentment is a pearl of great price, and whoever procures it at the expense of ten thousand desires makes a wise and a happy purchase”
