The poverty, alcoholism and professional failure are all real, and are not to be laughed at.

So many young men throw themselves into Catholicism with such enthusiasm because it's the church that allows them to get married, and then run around with big breasted women because they are "creatures of sin" who must be forgiven. If I see one walk by I just take my glasses off.

Come down to dinner and announced that I've stopped thinking about converting to any religion, and that now I don't believe in anything. Everyone is tremendously relieved that I'm not mad anymore. I'm going to do more and more naughty things over the evening until they're sorry.

Sorry, but I was hating the French before Ulysses was even around.

Sat in a silent train carriage with my Thai wife. She said a few broken words. I responded. She said "uh, huh," pretending to understand. Felt ridiculous, embarrassed, the both of us did. Felt guilty, but it dissolved at home when I held her. Got out of bed and wrote this tweet.

Emotionally vulnerable people who express themselves through writing ought to be told that their poetry is shit

I sold my copy of Peter Sloterdijk's Critique of Cynicism and I said (out loud) "The next time I read this, I shall read it in German" and my father weeped and said "I wish you had become a nurse" then I stole his beer.

There is a tendency to think that the man who sits serenely on Swanson Street as pigeons perch on him has transcended the neuroticism of city life. "We, who go here and there, working and buying, are the real madmen." But look at him, he is covered in bird shit, for God's sake.

Terminally ill and four months away from death, you are offered, by a man ignorant of your condition, lessons to learn to play the Tuba, an instrument which requires at least five months of practice to play with any capability. Do you accept his offer?

I write again, but my fingers trundle behind my thoughts. When the vehicle in which a man travels cannot keep apace with his desires, there is no hope. They say that Pérez Galdós used a pencil rather than a pen so that he might write faster. Reader, imagine me with a keyboard.

I told the doctor that I hadn't laughed in seven years. "What the fuck do you want me to do about it?" he said.

It can be an extremely powerful form of vigilante justice to falsely accuse somebody of rape. If I believed someone guilty of something of equal moral repugnance as rape, but which was unpunishable by the law, I would falsely accuse them of rape.

O, swear not by the moon, the inconstant moon,
That monthly changes in her circled orb,
Lest that thy love prove likewise variable.

I recently asked my university for a breakdown of my course modules and they tried to charge me for an “academic transcript.” I was also charged to graduate. It's too late for me now, but you are close enough to the building to set it on fire, metaphorically speaking of course.

Vegetarianism is not an ideology in itself, but a branch of white supremacy; a stick which is used to beat races who refuse to consider it. "How barbaric! Did you know? They really do eat dogs." We can use this strategy.

Sleep and exercise are unpropitious to learning. Plato speaks of this.
