"Unless your name is something along the lines of Mozart, Matisse, Churchill, Che Guevara or Bond - James Bond - you best spend your free time finger painting or playing shuffle board, for no-one with the exception of your flabby-armed mother with stiff hair and a mashed-potato way of looking at you, will want to hear the particulars of your pitiable existence, which doubtlessly will end as it began - with a wheeze."
Borrowed from 'Special Topics in Calamity Physics' by Marisha Pessl, with special thanks to Lorna for giving me this book!!!
