“Half as big but twice as mad.”

“Half of the Ullers are half-mad, the saying went, and the other half are worse.”

“I am surrounded by flatterers and fools. It can drive a man to madness,.. . Half of them don’t dare tell me the truth, and the other half can’t find it.”

“Older than sin and twice as mean”

“I can describe an axe entering a human skull in great explicit detail and no one will blink twice at it. I provide a similar description, just as detailed, of a penis entering a vagina, and I get letters about it and people swearing off. To my mind this is kind of frustrating, it’s madness. Ultimately, in the history of [the] world, penises entering vaginas have given a lot of people a lot of pleasure; axes entering skulls, well, not so much.”

“We've changed kins since then, some of us twice. No one cares, no one remembers.”

“A mad man sees what he sees.”
