I could only tolerate an afternoon if I took a triple amount of the stated dose of valium prescribed by my GP (who would soon take his own life).

What's the first thing I do when I wake up in the morning? Wish I hadn't.

If you travel to Germany, it's still absolutely Germany. If you travel to Sweden, it still has a Swedish identity.

And though I walk home alone, my faith in love is still devout.

If you must write prose or poems, the words you use should be your own. Don't plagiarize or take 'on loan'. There's always someone, somewhere, with a big nose, who knows, who'll trip you up and laugh when you fall.

There are more than enough to fight and oppose; why waste good time fighting the people you like?

Life's full of tricky snakes and ladders.
