Quote by Richard Hell

“I remember the revelation it was to me when I realized I'd rather be smart in the way Elvis Presley was than in the way, say, Ludwig Wittgenstein was. The thing was, you could imagine you could be smart like Wittgenstein by just thinking hard enough, but Elvis just had it. It was almost spiritual. A kind of grace.”

It seems to me we should spend our lives in a conscious state of creating these meaningful moments that live on. Memories matter.”
