For unless one is able to live fully in the present, the future is a hoax. There is no point whatever in making plans for a future which you willnever be able to enjoy.

Your entireeducation has deprived you of this capacity because it was preparingyou for the future, instead of showing you how to be alive now.
Alan Watts

A man could write much better after eating a porterhouse steak and drinking a pint of whiskey than he could ever write after eating a nickel candy bar. The myth of the starving artist was a hoax.
Charles Bukowski
