We act, or fail to act, not because of ‘will,’ as is so commonly believed, but because of imagination. ↗

I will not fall for any of the following: alcoholics, workaholics, commitment phobics, people with girlfriends or wives, misogynists, megalomanics, chauvists, emotional fuckwits or freeloaders, perverts. ↗
