“America I'm putting my queer shoulder to the wheel.”

“Democracy! Bah! When I hear that word I reach for my feather Boa!”

“It isn't enough for your heart to break because everybody's heart is broken now.”

“My own experience is that a certain kind of genius among students is best brought out in bed.”

“Nobody saves America by sniffing cocaine, jiggling your knees blankly in the rain, when it snows in your nose you catch cold in your brain.”

“Fortunately art is a community effort --a small but select community living in a spiritualized world endeavoring to interpret the wars and the solitudes of the flesh.”
