"The superman is a premature ideal, one that presupposes man."

-- Karl Kraus

“I don't write political plays in the sense that I'm writing essays that are kind of disguised as plays. I would really defy anyone to watch any of my plays and say 'Well, here's the point.'”
“So Crake never remembered his dreams. It's Snowman that remembers them instead. Worse than remembers: he's immersed in them, he'd wading through them, he's stuck in them. Every moment he's lived in the past few months was dreamed first by Crake. No wonder Crake screamed so much.”
“Iâ€™m trying to please myself; certainly thatâ€™s a big criterion... though in a sense, I donâ€™t take images just for myself. I take images that I think other people will want to see. I donâ€™t take pictures to put in a box and hide them. I want as many people to see them as possible.”
“In the past few months, I've become convinced of one thing: If I were a man, I'd be paid more.”

“Bachelors know all about parties. In fact, a good bachelor is a living, breathing party all by himself. At least that is what my girlfriend said when she found the gin bottles under the couch. I believe her exact words were, "You're a disgusting, drunken mess." And that's a good description of a party, if it's done right.”
“Where I grew up, acting wasn't really accessible. I was just playing sports. But, I did watch a lot of TV. I watched a lot of Clint Eastwood movies on TV and had this fantasy of being like him when I grew up.”
