Not only that, but when I first met Joe, to my intense delight, he showed me that he was a collector. He was collecting some of the early Tarzan pages by Hal Foster, and, later, early Flash Gordons; and I found that we were both absolutely interested in the same type of thing. ↗

High school is very intense for everyone. But at a boarding school, because you're there 24 hours a day, everything gets magnified. ↗

Existence is no more than the precarious attainment of relevance in an intensely mobile flux of past, present, and future. ↗
