american-comedian asks whenever
Whenever someone asks me if I want water with my Scotch, I say I'm thirsty, not dirty.

You only live once - but if you work it right, once is enough.
aware british-actor relationship strange time wasteful
I think I have a strange relationship with time. I'm not really aware of that time passing. I don't feel that I'm wasteful with time. But I'm not aware of it passing.
approach believe deal dealing false great holy intensity people prefer reverence sacred speaking
Some people write heavily, some write lightly. I prefer the light approach because I believe there is a great deal of false reverence about. There is too much solemnity and intensity in dealing with sacred matters; too much speaking in holy tones.
glasses rather wear
I'm tall, fat, rather bald, red-faced, double-chinned, black-haired, have a deep voice, and wear glasses for reading.
agreeable call false god happiness hard interests less life noticed plausible remains sources surrender thoughts turn
Everyone has noticed how hard it is to turn our thoughts to God when everything is going well with us... While what we call 'our own life' remains agreeable, we will not surrender it to Him. What, then, can God do in our interests but make 'our own life' less agreeable to us, and take away the plausible sources of false happiness?

There is no uncreated being except God. God has no opposite.

Always prefer the plain direct word to the long, vague one. Don't implement promises, but keep them.

We are not living in a world where all roads are radii of a circle and where all, if followed long enough, will therefore draw gradually nearer and finally meet at the centre: rather in a world where every road, after a few miles, forks into two, and each of those into two again, and at each fork, you must make a decision.
dangerous defended doctrine faith public seems unreal work
Nothing is more dangerous to one's own faith than the work of an apologist. No doctrine of that faith seems to me so spectral, so unreal as one that I have just successfully defended in a public debate.
Writing is like a 'lust,' or like 'scratching when you itch.' Writing comes as a result of a very strong impulse, and when it does come, I, for one, must get it out.
