Summary

This quote suggests that responsible behavior is something that typically comes with age, much like varicose veins. It implies that as individuals mature and gain life experience, they become more inclined to act in a responsible manner. The comparison to varicose veins, which are often associated with aging, implies that responsible behavior is a natural consequence of getting older. However, it also appears to humorously convey the idea that responsibility may not be inherently appealing or easily acquired, much like the development of varicose veins.

The flimsy little protestations that mark the front gate of

The flimsy little protestations that mark the front gate of every novel, the solemn statements that any resemblance to real persons living or dead is entirely coincidental, are fraudulent every time. A writer has no other material to make his people from than the people of his experience ... The only thing the writer can do is to recombine parts, suppress some characterisitics and emphasize others, put two or three people into one fictional character, and pray the real-life prototypes won't sue.
