I am desperate for attention. But everyone else is too. Everyone has fantasies of fame and greatness. Life for most people is a process of shedding those fantasies.

People are obsessed by happiness, but there are a lot of other invigorating experiences available.

Being well-dressed gives a feeling of inward tranquility which psychoanalysis is powerless to bestow.

If I hear that people are litigious, I immediately dismiss them.

[…] life is just the misery left between abortion and euthanasia […]

I have wanted only one thing to make me happy. That thing is everything.

I might be old, but I'm still desirable.
