strong-women soul good-woman
And yet women-good women--frightened me because they eventually wanted your soul, and what was left of mine, I wanted to keep.
women coffee hysteria
I call 'em complaining machines. Things are never right with a guy to them. And man, when you throw that hysteria in there ... forget it. I gotta get out, get in the car, and go. Anywhere. Get a cup of coffee somewhere. Anywhere. Anything but another woman. I guess they're just built different, right?
women modern-woman pockets
Modern women ... they don't sew your pockets ... forget that.
women
A woman has to have something on or there's nothing to take off.
women waiting good-woman
Don't wait for the good woman. She doesn't exist.
women ready one-woman
there is always one woman to save you from another and as that woman saves you she makes ready to destroy
women boys high-heels
you boys can keep your virgins give me hot old women in high heels with asses that forgot to get old.

friendship prejudice sharing
That is what friendship means. Sharing the prejudice of experience.
drinking wine writing
I write right off the typer. I call it my "machinegun." I hit it hard, usually late at night while drinking wine and listening to classical music on the radio and smoking mangalore ganesh beedies.
writing agony sweat
I seldom know what I'm going to write when I sit down. There isn't much agony and sweat of the human spirit involved in doing it. The writing's easy, it's the living that is sometimes difficult.
mean writing night
A dry period for me means perhaps going two or three nights without writing. I probably have dry periods but I'm not aware of them and I go on writing, only the writing probably isn't much good.
laughing magic lines
Hemingway and Saroyan had the line, the magic of it. The problem was that Hemingway didn't know how to laugh and Saroyan was filled with sugar.
