Well, just being stupid and politically incorrect doesn't work. You can be politically incorrect if you're smart.

You're always a little disappointing in person because you can't be the edited essence of yourself.

When I was a little kid at home, I thought the whole world was Jewish. For years I thought Roosevelt was Jewish. I loved him. I thought of him as my father. I'm always stunned when I find out that people like Roosevelt and Tolstoy weren't Jewish. How could I love them so much?

Look at Jewish history. Unrelieved lamenting would be intolerable. So for every ten Jews beating their breasts, God designated one to be crazy and amuse the breast-beaters. By the time I was five I knew I was that one.

Don’t be stupid, be a smarty / Come and join the Nazi Party!

Writing is simply one thought after another dying upon the one before.
