You need a long hard day's work to reveal the logic of the craving for very bad tv and alcohol.

The arrogance that says analysing the relationship between reasons and causes is more important than writing a philosophy of shyness or sadness or friendship drives me nuts. I can't accept that.

Never, ever become a writer. It's a nightmare.

It's hard loving those who don't much like themselves: "If you're so great, why would you think I'm so great.

What we find exotic abroad may be what we hunger for in vain at home.

The largest part of what we call 'personality' is determined by how we've opted to defend ourselves against anxiety and sadness".

We read the weird tales in newspapers to crowd out the even weirder stuff inside us.
