The motto I have penned on my knuckles is that this is the best world we have—because it’s the only world we have. It’s the simplest math ever.
The more scared children are, the tighter they hug you.
The idea that pornography is intrinsically exploitative and sexist is bizarre: pornography is just some fucking, after all. The act of having sex isn’t sexist, so there’s no way pornography can be, in...
The Fear is my Second Coming. When everyone in the world admits they’re going to die, we’ll really start getting some stuff done.
That is the work of your teenage years - to build up and tear down and build up again, over and over, endlessly... They do not tell you this when you are fourteen, because the people who would tell yo...
She might as well be telling me a story of how she once confused 'Push' for 'Pull' on a door, then banning me from using doors again - 'Lest you also be betrayed by doors.

Our new budget now, with no wriggle room for anything extra—not a pot of jam, or a new pair of shoes. We cannot do anything other than stay very still. We are on 11 percent less of was-never-enough-in...
One of the little sorrows of being cool is that similarly cool people are too cool to ever come over and tell you you're cool - because that's just not cool. And so,gradually, the entire point of bein...
