I am a dolt of a man, easily made happy or even stupidly happy almost without cause and left alone I am mostly content.

You can forgive a fool because he only runs in one direction and doesn't deceive anybody. It's the deceivers who make you feel bad.

Complaint is often the result of an insufficient ability to live within the obvious restrictions of this god damned cage.

it's better to be happy...if you can..!!

I'm not the cruel type, but they are, and that's the secret.

I write right off the typer. I call it my "machinegun." I hit it hard, usually late at night while drinking wine and listening to classical music on the radio and smoking mangalore ganesh beedies.

We do not abandon ship. I say, as corny as it may sound, through the strength and spirit and fire and dare and gamble of a few men in a few ways we can save the carcass of humanity from drowning. No light goes out until it goes out. Let's fight as men, not rats. Period. No further addition.
