worship reviews
I don't take much notice of reviews now - obviously you'd like to have straight worship but you're never going to get that.
jobs
I never could get a proper job.
book criticism bother
Criticism is part of being in the marketplace. If you can't take a bit of criticism, you shouldn't bother publishing a book.
want bowie suburbs
As suburbs go, Bromley's not bad. But as David Bowie and Hanif Kureishi have observed, you do want to get out of there quickly.
men support-systems support
Like most men, I'm a life support system for a phallus.
fun eye two
Even those with unspendable fortunes only have one mind, one mouth, two ears, two eyes and one pleasure station. There's only so much fun you can take.
mean vases doe
Once you've been backstage at a theater, the theater is never the same for you. Once you've noticed the crack in the vase, the vase is never the same for. Once you've seen a friend do something appalling, the friendship is never the same. That does not mean you won't go to the theater, or keep the vase or the friend. You can choose.
self desire important
Why is erasing desire seen as so important? If the subjugation of the self is the point of the self what's the point in having a self? It's like someone handing you a leaflet which says throw this leaflet away.
knowing doors world
Few pleasures are greater than knowing you can close your door, ignore the world and create your own.
opportunity waiting stay-cool
Stay cool, and wait for opportunity.
stupidity amount
No amount of intelligence can save you from stupidity.
thinking reader
It's what the reader thinks that counts.
book reviews wells
Most books reviews aren't very well-written. They tend to be more about the reviewer than the book.
issues political roles
A public role endures for the literary high-command, as sages and seers, speaking out on social and political issues.
