the way to create art is to burn and destroy ordinary concepts and to substitute them with new truths that run down from the top of the head and out of the heart

it is all ash and dry leaves and grief gone like an ocean liner.

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.

If you want to know where God is, ask a drunk.

Animals never worry about Heaven or Hell. Neither do I. Maybe that's why we get along.

People who believe in politics are like people who believe in God: they are sucking wind through bent straws.

That's the way it ends. The thin edge of the wedge.
