***************
I want my God dead . . .
Not sick, not dying, but dead . . .
Unless He’s insane
***************
In America
patriotism is the poor
substitute for wit
***************
It is only through
art that we can know the true
value of money
***************
The only thing worse
than death is conversation
about the weather
***************
A cynic is one
who believes that a work of
fiction can’t be real
***************
A man can’t be too
careful in the choice of his
mother and father
***************
It is better to
have a permanent income
than to be a child
***************
Reading Henry James
over and over again
can be quite fatal
***************
Everything that is
popular for more than six
months is a failure
***************
The barbarism of
America is the curse
of its President
***************
Democracy is
bludgeoning us with vulgar,
stupid journalism
***************
