The Old Man ain’t afraid of hell

I hate women because they have brought into the currency of our language such expressions as "all righty" and "yes indeedy" and hundreds of others.

Humourists lead... an existence of jumpiness and apprehension. They sit on the edge of the chair of Literature. In the house of Life they have the feeling that they have never taken off their overcoats.

When all things are equal, translucence in writing is more effective than transparency, just as glow is more revealing than glare.

God bless... God damn.

I don't believe the writer should know too much where he's going. If he does, he runs into old man blueprint—old man propaganda.
