good people
People who have a reputation for being evil are usually good.
far people shows
If someone thinks I'm posh, it just shows how lowly they are. Some people think I went to Eton. I'm far too stupid to get into Eton.
greatness people attention
I am desperate for attention. But everyone else is too. Everyone has fantasies of fame and greatness. Life for most people is a process of shedding those fantasies.
people ifs
If I hear that people are litigious, I immediately dismiss them.
people listening noise
There's a lot of noise about me that stops a lot of people from listening, but the good side is if you expose yourself like that, you're left with only good people who can see through you-you get rid of all the wankers.
hate dislike-me people
People either hate me or dislike me - but I realized that people aren't against you, they are for themselves. We're all prejudiced in favor of ourselves.
people obsessed invigorating
People are obsessed by happiness, but there are a lot of other invigorating experiences available.
nature pragmatic yearn
I think you are born, and I think you die. I have a pragmatic nature, but I yearn to believe.
upright
I consider myself to be very correct and proper: an upright citizen.
allowed dislike love privately publicly women worshipped
If I want to dislike women, I should be allowed to. As it happens, I love them. Women to me are privately worshipped and publicly disdained.
blazing
Think of how many boring, blameless lives are brightened by the blazing indiscretion of me.
artificial genuine together
I am a fraud. I have cobbled together my personality from hundreds of little bits. I am simultaneously the most genuine and the most artificial person you will ever meet.
austere food neurotic pleasure says stuff took
Everyone says Oscar Wilde was a dandy, but he wasn't - he was an aesthete. He took pleasure in food and stuff like that. Dandyism is much more austere - much more Calvinistic, more neurotic - it oscillates between narcissism and neurosis.
neither nor
The universe is neither friendly nor hostile. It is merely indifferent. This makes me ecstatic.
