I can never drive my car over a bridge without thinking of suicide. I can never look at a lake or an ocean without thinking of suicide.

Why do you insist upon destroying yourself?

I think a man can keep on drinking for centuries, he'll never die; especially wine or beer...I like drunkards, man, because drunkards, they come out of it, and they're sick and they spring back, they spring back and forth...If I hadn't been a drunkard, I probably would have committed suicide long ago.

I've never met another man I'd rather be.

Never get out of bed before noon.

I kept telling myself that all the women in the world weren´t whores, just mine.

that your power of command with simple language was one of the magnificent things of our century. (from the poem: result)
