— I'm just interested in women, Brian— So am I, Kibby whined in urgent complaint.— You think you are, but you're not. You read sci-fi magazines, for fuck sakes.
— Does it? Get easier, I mean, he asks urgently. The cop shakes his heid. — Does it fuck; it gets bleedin worse. All that happens is that the expectations you have of life fall. You just get used to a...

Life is a dynamic rather than a static process, and when we don't change it kills us. It's not running away, it's moving on.
It’s like humping Leviathan: a fucking war of all against all, a shag of attrition. Eventually she goes off and I shoot my load and, save for a shaving of egotism, am completely unmoved by the experie...
