Skepticism Does Not Preserve Us From Foolhardy

A Sense Of Absurdity Interferes With My Efforts To Appear Venerable.

Old Age Likes Indecency. It's A Sign Of Life.

Knowledge And Power In The City; Peace And Decency In The Country.

Unlike Other Vices, Cruelty, Alas, Is Never Boring.

The Lyric Deals With Love And Sorrow, The Aphorism With Contradiction And Deceit.
