Are people crazy? People waited all their lives. They waited to live, they waited to die. They waited in line to buy toilet paper. They waited in line for money. And if they didn't have any money they waited in longer lines. You waited to go to sleep and then you waited to awaken. You waited to get married and you waited to get divorced. You waited for it to rain, you waited for it to stop. You waited to eat and then you waited to eat again. You waited in a shrink's office with a bunch of psychos and you wondered if you were one.

Some people have written that my writing has helped them go on. It has helped me too. The writing, the roses, the 9 cats.

there's no defense except all the errors made

The crowd is the gathering place of the weakest; true creation is a solitary act.

In New York you've got to have all the luck.

In my next life I want to be a cat. To sleep 20 hours a day and wait to be fed. To sit around licking my ass.

A dry period for me means perhaps going two or three nights without writing. I probably have dry periods but I'm not aware of them and I go on writing, only the writing probably isn't much good.
