The Mountain
If a man should ask to meet me
at the summit of a mountain
to discuss the great questions of life,
I would have to turn him down.
Talking Woman
A woman with a coarse voice
can be very sexy,
especially if she only says
the most negative things.
Table
In keeping with the general practice
of looking at things
and then saying something about them,
Paolo looked over at the table and said,
“I don’t like it.”
—William Minor
Attention
If I don’t receive the attention
that I think I deserve,
I feel slighted,
aggrieved and ignored.
On the rare occasions
that I do receive it,
I feel like a fraud.
Deprivation
I deprived myself, in the hope
that it would provide me
with a unique perspective:
It did—and that there would
eventually be some reward
for the sacrifice: there wasn’t.
—John Tottenham
