Hard to find and even harder to listen to

Postmodernism surely requires an even greater grasp of symbolism, as it's increasingly an art of gesture alone.

I have no musical talent at all. I was banned from music classes and told I would never be able to understand anything. I still don't think I can sing, but somehow I get away with it.

I'm not sure it pays to do anything remotely public in Britain. It's such a spiteful society. People seem to enjoy making your life hard for the sake of it.

We all know we fall. Newton's discovery was that the moon falls, too-and by the same rule that we do.

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of Communists and other subversives. We intend to clean them out, even if it means rounding up every bird watcher in the country.

A hypocritical etiquette forces us to pretend that the Jews are powerless victims; and if you don't respect their victimhood, they'll destroy you.

It seems as if when you try to do just one thing and nothing but, you can't do it at all. You do everything better if there's more than one thing.
