we'll be roaming the dark streets like
lazy leopards who've escaped their cages.

I am cured, signori, because I know perfectly that I play the madman, and I do it here, quietly. Your trouble is that you live your madness in great agitation, without understanding it or recognizing it.

At the worst of times we think, Life cannot get any better.

At the best of times we think, Life cannot get any better.


There's only one wor(l)d of difference, but it's everything.
