I've had very little sex. I like my Scotch, but I've never been drunk.

When the world is itself draped in the mantle of night, the mirror of the mind is like the sky in which thoughts twinkle like stars.

But big people’s illnesses are always made to sound big. The simple shutting and opening of the royal arse-hole was made to sound as if the world was coming to an end.

Friends meddle with my plan of work. I resent people dropping in for a chat.

I haven't any close friends. Friendship needs time to interact, sit down, gossip. I don't have that time.

I am not a serious person. I don't claim any profundity for any of my writing.

I've had very little sex. I like my Scotch, but I've never been drunk.
