More quotes by Jim Goad
I'm alive, happier than I've ever been, and I'm doing exactly what I want.
Jim Goad
the fact that they stole their whole shtick from Woody Guthrie and the coal-mining bards. While the alternative nation meows about personal fashion angst, the Appalachian nation still sings about unemployment.
Jim Goad
The idea of karma reeks of primitive religious superstition, so I don't place a lot of stock in it.
Jim Goad
Plenty of people have bad divorces, but few of them end up with cancer, imprisonment, and public scorn. In the dark, rolling, treacherous wake of that sunken ship, the last thing I sought was a relationship or, heaven forbid, marriage.
Jim Goad
I've realized there are far more efficient and devastating methods of disturbing people than merely sloshing around in the pigpen with obvious, profane, scatological, flat-brained, grade-school offensiveness.
Jim Goad
I believe that to some degree there are situational and psychological laws of cause-and-effect, but I don't believe there's some Über-soul who doles out justice.
Jim Goad
In my long, long years toiling around the publishing industry, I've found that women simply don't stick to the writing with the same fervor that men do.

I didn't see much besides Melbourne and a quick trip down to the Twelve Apostles, but all the Aussies I encountered were good-spirited and had a fine sense of humor.

The criticism that has most consistently bothered me is the allegation that I'm a schlockmeister whose only objective is to shock people.
Jim Goad
In contrast to how my father treated me, I won't hit him, I won't call him evil, I'll give him affection, and I'll pay attention to him.
Jim Goad
My oldest brother was stabbed thirty to forty times and strangled to death with his own belt when I was eight years old. Much of my life has been pockmarked with violence. So I had a natural interest in the topic, along with a strong home-field advantage.
Jim Goad
It amazes me that some people who ordinarily can recognize autocratic bullying, tacky sloganeering, and - especially - camp value are unable to spot it in this Hate Scare that grips the Western world.
Jim Goad
Mind you, I live in an area of Atlanta that is nearly 88% black. But in six days in and around Melbourne, I saw maybe three people of African origin and maybe one easily identifiable Australian aborigine.
Jim Goad
If I’d been talking about black trash, I might be lynched. If I was talking about white trash, I’d merely be another torchbearer in an ongoing national lynching.
Jim Goad
The leftist drive for control is insatiable.
Jim Goad
I'm arrogant enough to tell you that I'm smart enough to have scored higher on my Scholastic Aptitude Test than any US president whose SAT score has been made public. I even scored higher than ex-presidential candidate Al Gore, whose SAT score was so high, it was deemed as potentially off-putting to voters.
Jim Goad
It's not exactly courageous to be an anti-racist these days a hundred years ago, it was.
Jim Goad
To think that humans evolved from lower species BUT the evolutionary process somehow came to a halt and we all arrived at the finish line simultaneously is to embrace a fiction possibly more implausible than Christianity.
Jim Goad
People can be so heartless and dirty.
Jim Goad
The average human's fundamental project is to find someone else to blame for their problems.
