After several hours of floating from one locale to another, I've found someone who'll fix my camera. It will cost $50 and take two weeks, during which time I'll be bereft of photography equipment. What the hell will I do?!

Hmm, maybe I'll look for a job.

If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it. A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.

—Roald Dahl
