mercy, I think, doesn't the human race know anything about mercy?

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

We are Born like this Into this Into these carefully mad wars Into the sight of broken factory windows of emptiness Into bars where people no longer speak to each other Into fist fights that end as shootings and knifings Born into this Into hospitals which are so expensive that it’s cheaper to die Into lawyers who charge so much it’s cheaper to plead guilty Into a country where the jails are full and the madhouses closed Into a place where the masses elevate fools into rich heroes

Almost everybody is born a genius and buried an idiot.

I met a genius on the train today about 6 years old, he sat beside me and as the train ran down along the coast we came to the ocean and then he looked at me and said, it’s not pretty.

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

Was I the only person who was distracted by this future without a chance?
