"Getting drunk was good. I decided that I would always like getting drunk. It took away the obvious and maybe. If you could get away from the obvious often enough, you wouldn't become obvious yourself."

"The street to my left was backed up with traffic and I watched the people waiting patiently in the cars. There was almost always a man and a women, staring straight ahead, not talking. It was, finally, for everyone, a matter of waiting. You waited and you waited- for the hospital, the doctor, the plumber, the madhouse, the jail, papa death himself. First the signal red, then the signal was green. The citizens of the world ate food and watched t.v. and worried about their jobs or lack of the same, while they waited."

Society
"I like to change liquor stores frequently because the clerks got to know your habits if you went in night and day and bought huge quantities.

It was reasonable that a man had to be at least 50 years old before he could write with anything like clarity."
Wisdom
"If you want to know who your friends are, get yourself a jail sentence."

Emotion
"We don't even ask happiness, just a little less pain."
