If the delight of drinking red wine and the magic of being awake and bustling in the night - if these two things are taken from us, it will be a sign that we can no longer grasp what happiness is available to us. You know I think we Americans are unique in that the political document which established our nationhood - THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE - guarantees THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. Perhaps that's why we don't surrender our hope for happiness, but keep our options always open. It's just a thought. Maybe/maybe not.
