“She was bedridden falling a fall which broke her hip. X-rays showed that she had cancer of the colon which had already spreed. To my surprise I found her cheerful and free of pain, perhaps because of the small doses of morphine she was being given. She was surrounded by neighbours and friends who congregated at her bedside day and night.

“aven, I have given up smoking again!... God! I feel fit. Homicidal, but fit. A different man. Irritable, moody, depressed, rude, nervy, perhaps; but the lungs are fine.”
“I believe that pipe smoking contributes to a somewhat calm and objective judgement in all human affairs.”
“What's in that pipe that he's smoking?”
“Smoking had become my favorite thing in the world to do. It was like having instant comfort, no matter where or when.”
