I don't think I'm known for my gifts - I'm known for my gall. I don't want to be just a famous person - I'm too old.

I have wanted only one thing to make me happy. That thing is everything.
stars men evil
You may look back on your life and accept it as good or evil. But it is far, far harder to admit that you have been completely unimportant; that in the great sum of things all a man's endless grapplings are no more significant than the scuttlings of a cockroach. The universe is neither friendly nor hostile. It is merely indifferent. This makes me ecstatic. I have reached a nirvana of negativity. I can look futility in the face and still see promise in the stars.

people ifs
If I hear that people are litigious, I immediately dismiss them.
