"The only question that a hospital will ask even the poorest person from Canada's poorest district is, what do you need? And this is very important...I am not interested in my soul. My religious beliefs do not admit of a soul, but if the concept of a soul is a valid one, I hope I have a soul, and I think I have a soul-in fact, I am often twitted by Canadian journalists because I enjoy poetry and I enjoy music when...
