I do believe that America's deepest political sickness is that it is a self-righteous nation.

I think the internet is the greatest waste of time since masturbation was discovered.

The White Protestant's ultimate sympathy must be with science, factology, and committee rather than with sex, birth, heat, flesh, creation, the sweet and the funky; they must vote, manipulate, control, and direct, these Protestants who are the center of power in our land, they must go for what they believe is reason when it is only the Square logic of the past.

So the blind will lead the blind, and the deaf shout warnings to one another until their voices are lost.

The final purpose of art is to intensify, even, if necessary, to exacerbate, the moral consciousness of people.
