I am sure that the reason why I wept and stormed as if I had gone off my head was that the combination of physical exhaustion and my unhappiness had made me hate and resent everything.

It isn't that I dislike artists, but I can't stand anyone who puts on those ponderous airs of a man of character.

At times everything grows misty and dark before my eyes, and I feel that the strength of my whole body is oozing away through my finger tips.

This I want to believe implicitly: Man was born for love and revolution.

In spite of my suffering, at the thought that I was sure to end up by killing myself, I cried aloud and burst into tears.

Last year nothing happenedThe year before nothing happenedAnd the year before that nothinghappened.

For the first time in my life I realized what a horrible, miserable, salvationless hell it is to be without money.

Anyway, you can be sure of one thing, a man's got to fake just to stay alive.

I would far prefer to be told simply to go and die. It's straightforward. But people almost never say, "Die!" Paltry, prudent hypocrites!

I wonder if there is anyone who is not depraved. A wearisome thought.I want money. Unless I have it....In my sleep, a natural death!

Live all you can: it's a mistake not to. It doesn't matter what you do in particular, so long as you have had your life. If you haven't had that, what have you had?

None are completely wretched but those who are without hope and few are reduced so low as that.

I really love animals. My cat is my little soul mate. He's not just a cat, he's my friend.

Assume nothing. Inside every dumb blond there may be a very smart brunette.

I am in love with this green Earth.

The most all penetrating spirit before which will open the possibility of tilting not tables, but planets, is the spirit of free human inquiry. Believe only in that.

The worst kind of censorship is the kind that takes place in your own mind before you sit down to a typewriter.

A lot of people have been asking whether I would ever go into politics. I'm not sure I would.

I don't like looking outrageous.
