Discriminate between the transient and the eternal. Learn to move from complete control to complete abandon.

My choices were to either give in and let them kill all of us or fight back with everything I had. I chose the second one, ’cause I’m just funny that way.

For the last half of my life I have had the doubtful benefit of a brother whose literary reputation is much greater than my own.

I feel that one of the reasons Brexit happened was that people stayed at home rather than going to the polls.
