thinking years people
I think in the years to come what Reagan will be remembered for is that he had the chance to stop the plague and he chose not to because the 'right people' were dying.
animal years people
No animal on the face of the earth could conceive of taxation. You and I work roughly six months a year to pay our local, state and federal taxes. If nothing else, this should convince you that animals are smarter than people.
christian years two
Guilt is a Jewish invention improved upon by Christians for the last two thousand years.
suicide years two
The only merciful thing about drug abuse is the speed with which it devastates you. Alcoholics can take decades to destroy themselves and everyone they touch. The drug addict can accomplish this in a year or two. Of course, suicide is even more efficient.
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.
mom long taught
One thing Mom taught me, "You're going to be dead a long time, so do it now!"
