“The most important things to say are those which often I did not think necessary for me to say — because they were too obvious.”

“The most important thing is to be able to think what you want, not to say what you want.”

“I often make the mistake of thinking that something that is obvious to me is just as obvious to everyone else.”

“Women often seemed to leave things unsaid, and in his limited experience it was what they did not say that proved the most trouble.”

“The most important things are the hardest to say”

“Most people talk when they have nothing to say. I’m not talking because I have too much to say. None of which I’d want you to hear.”

“You ask me: 'Was he a fair player?' I say: 'No, I'm sorry, for me he was not a fair player.' I just think I respect him highly as a quality player. I did not like some things he did on the football pitch and I have the right to say that. It's not because you are older, suddenly, that you are a saint.”

“Anybody can be charming if they don't mind faking it, saying all the stupid, obvious, nauseating things that a conscience keeps most people from saying. Happily, I don't have a conscience. I say them.”

“… the most obvious, ubiquitous, important realities are often the ones that are hardest to see and talk about.”

“I think that I say those things that make people so angry, not because I really mean them, but because I simply thought of a clever way to say them. It's a kind of art, to think of the perfect way to say an idea, and when you think of it then you have to say it, because words don't exist until you say them."
"A pretty feeble kind of art, Nyef, and I say you should give it up before it gets you killed.”
