I can't really articulate what I feel.

One way of looking at speech is to say it is a constant stratagem to cover nakedness.

Iraq is just a symbol of the attitude of western democracies to the rest of the world.

Don't forget the earth's about five thousand million years old, at least. Who can afford to live in the past?

All that happens is that the destruction of human beings - unless they're Americans - is called collateral damage.

I ought not to speak about the dead because the dead are all over the place.

Occasionally it does hit me, the words on a page. And I still love doing that, as I have for the last 60 years.
