Parties sickened me. I hated the game-playing, the dirty play, the flirting, the amateurs drunks, the bores.

I often carry things to read so that I will not have to look at the people.

Life's as kind as you let it be.

I had noticed that both in the very poor and very rich extremes of society the mad were often allowed to mingle freely.

The trouble with a mask is it never changes

People just weren't interesting. Maybe they weren't supposed to be. But animals, birds, even insects were. I couldn't understand it.

Sundays kill more people than bombs.
