I always started a job with the feeling that I'd soon quit or be fired, and this gave ma a relaxex manner that was mistaken for intelligence or some secret power.

This is very important -- to take leisure time. Pace is the essence. Without stopping entirely and doing nothing at all for great periods, you're gonna lose everything...just to do nothing at all, very, very important. And how many people do this in modern society? Very few. That's why they're all totally mad, frustrated, angry and hateful.

Do you hate people? I don't hate them...I just feel better when they're not around.

I drive around the streets an inch away from weeping, ashamed of my sentimentality and possible love.

Pretty words, as pretty women, wrinkle up and die.

It didn't pay to trust another human being. Humans didn't have it, whatever it took.

If it doesn't come bursting out of you in spite of everything, don’t do it.
