"The days of my years are numbered, praise be to God. While they last, I hope to eat well, hunt well, fight well, and take my share of pleasure. I leave to others the arid satisfactions of self-denial and other perversions." -- Stanley of the Aga Kaga in "Protest Note" (aka "The Desert and the Stars") by Keith Laumer (1962)
