I don't know where I'm going from here, but I promise it won't be boring.

.. And these children
that you spit on
as they try to change their worlds
are immune to your consultations.
They're quite aware
of what they're going through...

I always had a repulsive need to be something more than human. I felt very puny as a human. I thought, 'Fuck that. I want to be a superhuman.

Turn and face the strange changes.

People are so fucking dumb. Nobody reads anymore, nobody goes out and looks and explores the society and culture they were brought up in. People have attention spans of five seconds and as much depth as a glass of water.

Don’t you love the Oxford Dictionary? When I first read it, I thought it was a really really long poem about everything.

Speak in extremes, it'll save you time.

There's a terror in knowing what the world is about.

I'm always amazed that people take what I say seriously. I don't even take what I am seriously.

I'm an instant star, just add water.

I'm a real self-educated kind of guy. I read voraciously. Every book I ever bought, I have. I can't throw it away. It's physically impossible to leave my hand! Some of them are in warehouses. I've got a library that I keep the ones I really really like. I look around my library some nights and I do these terrible things to myself--I count up the books and think, how long I might have to live and think, 'F@#%k, I can't read two-thirds of these books.' It overwhelms me with sadness.
