"The idea that the creative endeavor and mind-altering substances are entwined is one of the great pop-intellectual myths of our time. ... Substance abusing writers are just substance abusers - common garden variety drunks and druggies, in other words.

I've heard alcoholic snowplow drivers make the same claim, that they drink to still the demons."

I guess I've lived about ten or fifteen thousand lives now."

"The class distinctions proper to a democratic society are not those of rank or money, still less, as is apt to happen when these are abandoned, of race, but of age."

"In relation to a writer, most readers believe in the Double Standard: they may be unfaithful to him as often as they like, but he must never, never be unfaithful to them."
Writing
"Between friends differences in taste or opinion are irritating in direct proportion to their triviality."

"No good opera plot can be sensible, for people do not sing when they are feeling sensible."
People
"Before people complain of the obscurity of modern poetry, they should first examine their consciences and ask themselves with how many people and on how many occasions they have genuinely and profoundly shared some experience with another."
