Like the majority of deaf people, I don't like blind people much.

I'm still an atheist, thank God.

A writer or painter cannot change the world. But they can keep an essential margin of nonconformity alive.

Repeat, over and over again, in case anyone forgets it or believes the contrary, that we do not live in the best of all possible worlds.

Thank God I'm an atheist.

The bar... is an exercise in solitude. Above all else, it must be quiet, dark, very comfortable-and, contrary to modern mores, no music of any kind, no matter how faint. In sum, there should be no more than a dozen tables, and a client that doesn't like to talk.
