Life is a quarry, out of which we are to mold and chisel and complete a character.
I'm scarred, I'm scarred, I'm scarred/
I'm scarred, uh huh/
I'm scarred, I'm scarred, I'm scarred/
Every day of my life/
I just manage to survive/
I just wanna stay alive
The mathematics is not there till we put it there.
Mr. Yeats, I'd give anything to know what you're thinking.
It was long since I had longed for anything and the effect on me was horrible.
I knew I was destined for London, so I came to live with my nan in her council flat. It was the summer after my A-levels. Got a job in Willesden cemetery. I was getting a man’s wage, filling in bumholes. Stood around while they did the last rites. Cut the grass. A lot of the time I’d just sit on the gravestones and read and write. Scribbling away.
The hunger for facile wisdom is the root of all false philosophy.
Not to want to say, not to know what you want to say, not to be able to say what you think you want to say, and never to stop saying, or hardly ever, that is the thing to keep in mind, even in the heat of composition.
One hundred percent of the shots you don't take don't go in.
If all men knew what each said of the other, there would not be four friends in the world.
