“You should not take old people who are already dead seriously. It does them injustice. We immortals do not like things to be taken seriously. We like joking. Seriousness, young man, is an accident of time. It consists, I don't mind telling you in confidence, in putting too high a value on time. I, too, once put too high a value on time.

Eternity is a mere moment, just long enough for a joke.” PeopleMenShouldYearsMindLongDoeReasonEnoughMomentsYoungValuesTakenJokesHundredEternityMereInjusticeAccidentsYoung ManOld PeopleSeriousness Book:Six Novels: With Other Stories and Essays Source: Six Novels: With Other Stories and Essays
