"I have hardly any friends who aren't gay"

--

Tracey Emin

“The narrator blames the birds. And you want to blame the birds as well. I blamed the birds for a long time. But in this story everyone is hungry, even the birds. And at this point in the story so many things have gone wrong, so many bad decisions made, that itâ€™s a wonder anyone would want to continue reading.”
“Let us all take more responsibility, not only for ourselves and our families but for our communities and our country.”
“Actually the adrenaline of the game will probably help me out a little bit to regain command and concentration about the things that I have to do.”
“Beware of those who have never been bored, depressed, or angry. There is something seriously wrong with them.”

“Sunday clears away the rust of the whole week.”
“But for harmony beautiful to contemplate, science would not be worth following.”
“There is no permanent status quo in nature; all is the process of adjustment and readjustment, or else eventual failure. But man is the first being yet evolved on earth which has the power to note this changefulness, and, if he will, to turn it to his own advantage, to work out genetic methods, eugenic ideas, yes, to invent new characteristics, organs, and biological systems that will work out to further the interests, the happiness, the glory of the God-like being whose meager foreshadowings we the present ailing creatures are.”
“Lawyers are like nuclear weapons. By all rights they shouldn't exist, but if some people have them, then you'd better have one, too, just in case.”
