" ....to live life well, you need to know where to draw the line - between fun and stupidity, being nice and being used, love and lust , faith and fanaticism. There're so many, many things to experience and feel . And to live life well, you need to know where to draw the line with 'experiencing'. And the irony is that by the time you've learnt the 'art of drawing the line' - the when and the where to put your foot down - you're sixty/seventy years old and the larger part of your life has gone by...........And then all you can do is sit back and think of how stupid/crazy you've been. And then if you can laugh to yourself, then you know its all been worth it. "
