““If your life can hang from a chewing gum wrapper it can hang from anything in the book. It can hang from a bullet no bigger than a bean, or from a cigarette smoked in bed, or a bad breakfast that causes the doctor to sew the absorbent cotton inside you. From a slick tire tread or the hiccups or from kissing the wrong woman. Life is a rental proposition with no lease. For everybody, tall and short, muscles and fat, white and yellow, rich and poor. I know that now. And it is good to know at a time like this””
![“Now that I was rich I worried a lot more than I had [ before ] … Or let's say I didn't worry more, but that I worried harder, because all my life I'd wanted to live lazily and glossily, and now I had it and didn't want it taken away from me. Before I became rich it was only a matter of hanging…” quote by Elliott Chaze](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/9a4/elliott-chaze-47223_life_now-that-i-was-rich-i-worried-a-lot-more_2104165.jpg)
