I have no patience for anyone who thinks they've figured things out, no patience for people who think they're right at the expense of everyone else. The world is too connected and too complicated to conform to any of our rigid ideas of what it should be like.

Shaving your head is acceptable. It's when you start wearing toupees and brushing your hair over that things go wrong.

I've never seen Friends; I've never seen Seinfeld. I've heard people reference these things but I've never seen them.

This whole world is run by brutes for the common and the stupid.
