“Life is loneliness, broken only by the gods taunting us with friendship and the odd bonk”
“Vote for the man who promises least; he'll be the least disappointing.”
As quoted in Meyer Berger’s New York (1960)
“The reason I talk to myself is because I’m the only one whose answers I accept.”
“It must be a great disappointment to God if we are not dazzled at least ten times a day.”
