ignorance decision made
All decisions are made on insufficient evidence.
men feminism made
When God made man she was practicing.
children technology made-up-stories
What happens to children and families today who sit around the television? They're watching made-up stories. It's not their experience and it's not truly shared. A human being must learn at a very young age how to connect to other human beings. Our technologies are driving us apart, only connecting us in terms of information, not in terms of emotions.
ugly loser made
Pornography exists for the lonesome, the ugly, the fearful - it's made for the losers.
friendship made bearable
friendship is love made bearable.
entertainment
Moral passion without entertainment is propaganda, and entertainment without moral passion is television.
best life mean next
I have no idea what will come next in my writing life or life in general. I like not knowing, but I know what I want. That doesn't mean it will happen, but I'll give it my best try.
assess great literary social work
I don't think you can ever assess your work. I don't think Turgenev could assess his any more than I can assess mine, and his didn't have a social impact as much as great literary impact.
bad experience good
Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment.
love people
The only queer people are those who don't love anybody.
bad experience good judgment
Good judgment comes from experience, and often experience comes from bad judgment.
love life being-yourself
About all you can do in life is be who you are. Some people will love you for you. Most will love you for what you can do for them, and some won't like you at all.
writing views pay
I write poetry. It comes naturally to me, but from a technical point of view it forces me to pay close attention to language and to scan.
believe goal long
I always feel bad for those who, in a sense, cede their authority to others, let others make major decisions about their life and actually believe them. When you're tiny, you have no choice. But as soon as your mind starts working, you pretty well figure it out. And you realize you're a hostage until you're old enough to leave. But as long as you have that goal - I will get out of here - you'll be OK.
