I love the smell of paper in the morning; it smells like victory.

It's only those exceptional and rare individuals who have brilliant ideas delivered to them by the muse, complete and gift wrapped. The rest of us have to work at it.

The dusk reeks of fornication and bad consciences.

They say we have we created the man to end all wars; I say we have created a man to end all worlds.

Most of the people who get sent to die in wars are young men who've got a lot of energy and would probably rather, in a better world, be putting that energy into copulation rather than going over there and blowing some other young man's guts out.
