David Hockney: Thought For The Day

“Life is a killer, we all get only one lifetime and there is only now. This is my excuse for smoking, but do I really need one if I enjoy it? I have read the cigarette packets (and you can easily get out of the habit of reading them) and all the warnings etc. I accept fate as part of my life and tend to think that to aim for longevity is life denying. I have smoked for sixty years so why stop now. Adolf Hitler was the great anti-smoker, that says it all for me.”
