“Dead IS so LAST year”
“that is not the last word; it is not even an apt word; it is a dead word from ten years back.”
“And clay-caked clothes are so last year.”
“We become like dead branches and last year's leaves and what the hell good are we for ourselves and the world in a mental ghetto.”
“If in the last few years you haven't discarded a major opinion or acquired a new one, check your pulse. You may be dead”
“I think we never become really and genuinely our entire and honest selves until we are dead--and not then until we have been dead years and years. People ought to start dead, and then they would be honest so much earlier.”
