The number one organ of ridicule, nowadays, is the newspaper. If you open the newspaper any day of the week, it's full of people who've messed up their lives. They've slept with the wrong person, taken the wrong substance, passed the wrong piece of legislation -- whatever it is, and then are fit for ridicule. In other words, they have failed. And they are described as "losers." Now, is there any alternative to this? I think the Western tradition shows us one glorious alternative, which is tragedy.

Language is a skin: I rub my language against the other. It is as if I had words instead of fingers, or fingers at the tips of my words.

You can't let praise or criticism get to you. It's a weakness to get caught up in either one.

It may be unfair, but what happens in a single day can change the course of a whole lifetime.
