Wouldn't it be nice?

"Wouldn't it be nice not to have to go back?

Wouldn't it be nice someday to live in the country with somebody you really liked?

Wouldn't it be nice just to get up all full or energy when it got light and go to sleep dog-tired when it got dark?

Wouldn't it be nice to have a lot of responisbilities and just go around doing them all day and not even realize they were responsibilities?

Woudln't it be nice to just not think about yourself for whole days, weeks, months at a stretch?

To wear old clothes and no makeup and not to have to come on tough all the time?"

- Phillip Roth, "Portnoy's Complaint"
