Another quote by Ernest Hemingway

The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.

Another quote from the 1950s

I can settle down and be doin' just fine
Till I hear an old freight rollin' down the line,
Then I hurry straight home and pack
And if I didn't go, I believe I'd blow my stack
I love you baby, but you gotta understand
When the Lord made me he made a ramblin' man.
