While I had often said that I wanted to die in bed, what I really meant was that in my old age I wanted to be stepped on by an elephant while making love.

I know, too, that death is the only god who comes when you call.

It is anticipation and recollection that fill the heart—never the sensation of the moment.

There's no such thing as civilization. The word just means the art of living in cities.

It would be nice if there were some one thing constant and unchanging in the universe. If there is such a thing, then it is a thing which would have to be stronger than love, and it is a thing which I do not know.

No word matters. But man forgets reality and remembers words.

It is a pain in the ass waiting around for someone to try to kill you.
