I'm the king of the 20th century. I'm the boogeyman, the villian, the black sheep of the family.

My only problem with fans is when they turn pro. For example, when all the professional writers were fired by DC in the '60s, they brought in a generation of comic book fans who would have paid to have written these stories.

I enjoy putting my mind into different situations rather than my body.

Truth is a well-known pathological liar. It invariably turns out to be Fiction wearing a fancy frock. Self-proclaimed Fiction, on the other hand, is entirely honest. You can tell this, because it comes right out and says, I'm a Liar, right there on the dust jacket.

All it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest man alive to lunacy. That's how far the world is from where I am. Just one bad day.

Memory's so treacherous. One moment you're lost in a carnival of delights with poignant childhood aromas, the flashing neon on puberty, all that sentimental candyfloss.

I don’t think people realise how vital libraries are or what a colossal danger it would be if we were to lose any more.

Most of the people who get sent to die in wars are young men who've got a lot of energy and would probably rather, in a better world, be putting that energy into copulation rather than going over there and blowing some other young man's guts out.

Who makes the world? Perhaps the world is not made. Perhaps nothing is made. Perhaps it simply is, has been, will always be there…a clock without a craftsman.

Language comes first. It's not that language grows out of consciousness, if you haven't got language, you can't be conscious.

You know what I wish? I wish all the scum of the Earth had one throat and I had my hands about it.

In the human mind, the number of possible connections that can be made between neurons greatly exceeds the number of atoms in the universe.

Nothing ends, Adrian. Nothing ever ends.

It's early days. A few skeletons are bound to keep jumping out of the closet.

It doesn't do you any service to demonize any group of people. It's much better to try and understand from the inside.

Does the human heart know chasms so abysmal?

With science, ideas can germinate within a bed of theory, form, and practice that assists their growth... But we as gardeners, must beware... for some seeds are the seeds of ruin... and the most iridescent blooms are often the most dangerous

...My point is, I went crazy. When I saw what a black, awful joke the world was. I went crazy as a coot! I admit it! Why can't you?
