“When I hear the word culture, I reach for my gun”
“Democracy! Bah! When I hear that I reach for my feather boa!”
“When politicians and civil servants hear the word culture they feel for their blue pencils.”
“In my mind I am eloquent; I can climb intricate scaffolds of words to reach the highest cathedral ceilings and paint my thoughts. But when I open my mouth, everything collapses.”
“When I thought of the ferocity and strength of the fairy race, and the fact that it took all I had to open the damn blister pack and extricate the water pistols, my chosen method of defense seemed ludicrous. I'd be armed with a plastic water pistol and a trowel.”
