There's a kind of virgin one only becomes with difficulty.

All intellectual missionaries tend to lechery.

Happiness is a fragile thing, and alcohol, as I know from the house I grew up in, is dangerous to it.

I have tried and failed to lead a conventional life. When I try to be like other people, I fall out of bed.

Remember that it is not enough to have everything around you beautiful, remember that there must also be change and flux, because it is through change that we pretend that we can make decisions, and keep our pride, and go on pretending that both change and choice exist.
