Quotes from William J. Locke

You have never seen ugliness in a happy face.

My little Asticot, I have abjured absinthe and forsworn cafés. I have broken my new porcelain pipe and have cut my finger-nails. As I enter on the path of happiness, I scatter the dregs and shreds and clippings of the past behind me. I divest myself of all the crapulous years.

Don't be a genius, my son, it isn't good for anybody.
