My flesh looked like it wasn't trying. It looked like it hated being part of me.

I am not a man who looks for solutions in God or politics. If somebody else wants to do the dirty work and create a better world for us and he can do it, I will accept it.

I took no pride in my solitude; but I was dependent on it. The darkness of the room was like sunlight to me.

I lie as truthfully as I can.

we had such tremendous fun and much agony together for some years

there are so many days when living stops and pulls up and sits and waits like a train on the rails.

They laughed. Things were funny. They weren't afraid to care. There was no sense to life, to the structure of things.
