Whenever we talk about right and wrong we are turning the light of scrutiny upon our neighbors instead of upon ourselves. We judge in order not to be judged.

It is not our business to get after the murderers, but to get after the murderer which exists in each and every one of us. And I mean by murder the supreme kind which consists in murdering the spirit."
"You can forgive a young cunt anything. A young cunt doesn't have to have brains. They're better without brains.

All they can do for you is buy you things. But that doesn't put meat on their arms or juice between their legs."
