      One on One

      Dedication

      For Frances

      Epigraph

      Tossed upon ocean waters,

      Two wooden logs meet;

      Soon a wave will part them,

      And never again will they touch.

      Just so are we; our meetings

      Are momentary, my child.

      Another force directs us,

      So blame no fault of man.

      Ga Di Madgulkar

      We have as many personalities

       as there are people who know us.

      William James

      The earth keeps turning round and gets nowhere.

      The moment is the only thing that counts.

      Jean Cocteau

      When Arthur Miller shook my hand I could only think

       that this was the hand that had once cupped the breasts of Marilyn Monroe.

      Barry Humphries
