I'm one of the undeserving poor: that's what I am. Think of what that means to a man. It means that he's up agen middle class morality all the time.... What is middle class morality? Just an excuse for never giving me anything.

I like a state of continual becoming, with a goal in front and not behind.

I'm sick of all the reasonable people: they see all the reasons for doing nothing
