intercourse, screw his fellow man, uncrewed

Today we are celebrating Dr. Sacks and the importance of gratitude in creating meaning from our experiences. ‪#‎DaysofGratitude‬

"At nearly 80, with a scattering of medical and surgical problems, none disabling, I feel glad to be alive — “I’m glad I’m not dead!” sometimes bursts out of me when the weather is perfect...

I am grateful that I have experienced many things — some wonderful, some horrible — and that I have been able to write a dozen books, to receive innumerable letters from friends, colleagues, and readers, and to enjoy what Nathaniel Hawthorne called ‘an intercourse with the world.'"

In 1989, after winning the Nobel Prize, he was asked how he would like to be remembered.
Using the crude language common to his fiction, Cela said he would like this epitaph: "Here lies someone who tried to screw his fellow man as little as possible."
