It's possible to love a human being if you don't know them too well.

I was fairly poor but most of my money went for wine and classical music. I loved to mix the two together.

it is good to be sitting some place in public at 2:30 in the afternoon without getting the flesh ripped from your bones.

God knows I am not too hippy. Perhaps because I am too much around the hip and I fear fads for, like anybody else, I like something that tends to last.

Some nights I knew that if I slept I would die.

I never pump up my vulgarity. I wait for it to arrive in its own terms.

Most people's deaths are a sham. There's nothing left to die.
