Some people want to achieve immortality through their works or their descendants. I prefer to achieve immortality by not dying.

I've become the person I've always hated, but I'm happier.

I was a nervous child, I was a bedwetter. I used to sleep with an electric blanket and I was constantly electrocuting myself.

I read in self-defense.

If you pursue the other woman, it's a losing situation and it's not good for your relationship or your marriage. If your marriage is open and you're allowed to, that's no good either. There's no way, really in the end, to be happy unless you get very lucky.

I loathed every day and regret every moment I spent in a school.

If you're not failing every now and again, it's a sign you're not doing anything very innovative.
