I am plain-speaking out of both sides of my mouth.

I would like to be a figment of my own imagination, but belly and bowels will not permit.

Like love, destruction can be ecstatic.

To understand a literary style, consider what it omits.

Metaphors convince at once or not at all.

I pursue pleasure, but stingily, suspiciously.

Orgies are an early form of what will someday become sex by committee.
