Beware Who's Advice You Take

'I'm a cancer, and every fortune-teller I've ever been to has told me that if I want to be truly creative I should be living by the water. (One even said that if I wasn't living in such a place, at the very least I should put a glass of water on my desk. I did, of course. For years.) The biggest problem, the one no fortune-teller ever gave me good enough advice about, was that for most of my life not only couldn't I afford to live by the water, I couldn't even afford to live within miles of a habitable shoreline.'

-- Larry Kramer
