The wonderful story of Kurt Vonnegut and Joe Heller at a funeral in Long Island, Heller says to Vonnegut “doesn’t it bother you that this guy made more money this year than you’ve made in your entire life?” And Vonnegut says “no, doesn’t bother me”. “Why not?” says Heller. “Cause I had something he could never get”. “What the hell was that?” Says Heller. “Enough”. As far as I know, no one who ever lived by striving to the highest standards ever said I wish to God I hadn’t done that. So long as they preserve that first priority of family.
