I used to think feminism was a liberating force - now I see many of those people are just censors under a different name.

There is so much in the world to hate, why hate yourself?

I'm completely optimistic - I know the end is coming!

I think it's important to encourage gluttony in all its formats.

I'm a total pleasure seeker. I pursue anything that satisfies me. I usually get it. I have specific needs and I know what they are so I can achieve satisfaction.

I'm nihilistic, antagonistic, violent, horrible - but not obliterated, yet. I just refuse to be beaten down. I think it's stubborness that keeps me going.

Just because my bank account hasn't swelled astronomically I don't consider myself any less of a success.

Think your own thoughts.

The need to document my insanity is an affliction I have not yet cured myself of.

Our thoughts make everything possible in this impossible world.

I've got quite a memory. Engraved in my mind, things are. I can't forget anything...It's not a sign of intelligence...Nothing to boast about, memory...that's just how it is...

I'm afraid to answer that. I've heard that when I speak, it makes American women wish to strike me with umbrellas.

Always tell the truth and be true.

To reach up for the new, you must let go of the old. What lies behind you is not nearly as important as what lies in front of you.

There's something touching about a kid who's reading a book that's printed on actual paper. I think that anything that kids start reading, within reason, can lead to other discoveries.
