“Success does for the living what sunshine does for stained glass.”
“What is working stain, does not soil.”
“and I wonder does everyone else live this way a succession of tests a triumphant success each time I'm still intact at the end of the day”
“Why does a heart wear its eyesinto helllike slivers of false sunshine”
“Half full, half empty, what the hell difference does it make? If there's something in the damn glass, drink it.”
“One does not have to be a philosopher to be a successful artist, but he does have to be an artist to be a successful philosopher. His nature is to view the world in an unpredictable albeit useful light.”
