A good poem about failure is a success.

Deprivation is for me what daffodils were for Wordsworth.

I have no enemies. But my friends don't like me.

How little our careers express what lies in us, and yet how much time they take up. It's sad, really.

I have a sense of melancholy isolation, life rapidly vanishing, all the usual things. It's very strange how often strong feelings don't seem to carry any message of action

I feel the only thing you can do about life is to preserve it, by art if you're an artist, by children if you're not.

As a child, I thought I hated everybody, but when I grew up I realized it was just children I didn't like.

What will survive of us is love.

Sexual intercourse began in 1963 ... / Between the end of the Chatterley ban/ and the Beatles first LP

Things are tougher than we are, just As earth will always respond However we mess it about.

Man hands on misery to man. It deepens like a coastal shelf. Get out as early as you can, And don't have any kids yourself.

The truth is revealed by removing things that stand in its light, an art not unlike sculpture, in which the artist creates, not by building, but by hacking away.

Be fearless in your choices and don't be afraid to be yourself!

I don't believe in hours and hours of meditation. The mind gets tired and starts to fold in on itself.

Beneath words and logic are emotional connections that largely direct how we use our words and logic.

It all means more than I can tell you. So you must not judge what I know by what I find words for.

I am definitively qualitative about work.

I don't believe in journalists having 'responsibility.'

If you disaggregate, things fall apart.

So may he rest, his faults lie gently on him!

Do not say that every day you spend on this earth is a day closer to dying. Every day you spend on this earth is a day closer to finally living.
