"Man, when you lose your laugh you lose your footing. A man go around a corner and come up against a pretty girl and don't know whether he's about to say, 'What is a sweetheart like you doing in a place like this?' or 'What is a place like this doing around a sweetheart like you?' You know what I mean?"
- from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" by Ken Kesey (1962)
