I collect human relationships very much the way others collect fine art.

It seems that what I really want is a drug that will increase my consciousness of others, not myself.

I am going to put myself to sleep now for a bit longer than usual. Call it Eternity

Like nature, our economic system remains, in the long run, stable and rational...We welcome the inevitable seasons of our economy! How foolish of us.

The principle of art is to pause, not bypass.

I suppress in my prose any language which calls attention to itself.

Here was one place where I could find out who I was and what I was going to become. And that was the public library.
