argonaut@bean so empty they instead have to absorb the lives of those around them to feel like they’re breaking even.
as Joseph Heller famously said when Kurt Vonnegut pointed out that the billionaire throwing the party they were at, had likely made more money in one day than Heller's famous novel, Catch-22, had earned in its entire history: “I have something they will never have: enough”
Will Deakin@argonaut @wirbelkoepfe a poem in memory of Joseph Heller
"Joe Heller
True story, Word of Honor:
Joseph Heller, an important and funny writer
now dead,
and I were at a party given by a billionaire
on Shelter Island.
I said, “Joe, how does it make you feel
to know that our host only yesterday
may have made more money
than your novel ‘Catch-22’
has earned in its entire history?”

@argonaut @wirbelkoepfe "And Joe said, “I’ve got something he can never have.”
And I said, “What on earth could that be, Joe?”
And Joe said, “The knowledge that I’ve got enough.”
Not bad! Rest in peace!”
— Kurt Vonnegut

@argonaut @wirbelkoepfe both Heller and Vonnegut were important to me as authors when I was growing up.
So it goes....
