“There’s truth and honor in a mustache. And that’s why I started flying one on the flagpole outside of my house.”

“Mrs Chadwick used to say the same about my English, about going round the houses. But to be honest, I like going round the houses. And as for beginning at the beginning, the reason I never start there is that I don’t know where the beginning is, and that’s the honest truth. And anyway, I’ve never known anything in my whole life that ever started at the beginning. Things aren’t like that. They usually start about halfway through, or near the end, and then work their way backwards, that’s how must things are.”

“There’s no story that’s the start of itself.”

“One shouldnt ask oneself how a person flies or why, but simply start flying.”

“There are spiders living comfortably in my house while the wind howls outside. They aren't bothering anybody. If I were a fly, I'd have second thoughts, but I'm not, so I don't.”

“I’m curious about why there’s so much honor given to death, when there is no honor in losing someone you love.”
