"In my next life I want to live my life backwards. You start out dead and get that out of the way. Then you wake up in an old people's home feeling better every day. You get kicked out for being too healthy, go collect your pension, and then when you start work, you get a gold watch and a party on your first day. You work for 40 years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You party, drink alcohol, and are generally promiscuous, then you are ready for high school. You then go to primary school, you become a kid, you play. You have no responsibilities, you become a baby until you are born. And then you spend your last 9 months floating in luxurious spa-like conditions with central heating and room service on tap, larger quarters every day and then Voila! You finish off as an orgasm!"
I came across this quote while scanning through Goodreads and I love it. How great of a point does Woody Allen has! It seems like in todays day and age all we ever do it work and work and its hard to find time to do the fun stuff, like partying and reading.
Side note: is it lame to think of having a reading party? I don't mean a book club, but where people come over to delicious snacks, champagne and wine and a selection of books. Talking is allowed onlyat prescribed times. I think this would be perfect for all those introverts out there, I mean you get the feeling that you should socialize out of the way while doing the thing you'd rather be doing anyways.... hmmm... invites in the mail soon chickies!
