I felt dull and flat and full of shattered visions.

I hate handing over money to people for doing what I could just as easily do myself, it makes me nervous.

I am not a historian, but I find myself being more and more fascinated by history and now I find myself reading more and more about history. I am very interested in Napoleon, at the present: I'm very interested in battles, in wars, in Gallipoli, the First World War and so on, and I think that as I age I am becoming more and more historical. I certainly wasn't at all in my early twenties.

There is something demoralizing about watching two people get more and more crazy about each other, especially when you are the only extra person in the room.

When I fell out of the light, I entered The stomach of indifference, the wordless cupboard.

I wish you’d find the exit out of my head.

If I have a dry spell ... I wait and live harder, eyes, ears, and heart open, and when the productive time comes, it is that much richer.
