Yet another quote for the day

Rico says he can't find the damned reference, so he can't yet prove it was Joseph Heller who said it, but it sums up Rico's attitude, in spite of all the evidence (like poor Kenny Cauthen, who didn't make it even though we all thought for sure he would):

I know that we all die. The evidence is around us every day. But I thought, surely, in my case, an exception could be made.

(Turns out it was William Saroyan; Rico should've done a better search of his own blog, as he'd quoted him before, and that not even a year ago...)
