James Joyce

Christopher Columbus, as everyone knows, is honored by posterity because he was the last to discover America.

Whatever else is unsure in this stinking dunghill of a world a mother's love is not.

Men are governed by lines of intellect - women: by curves of emotion.

It's a dismally lonely business, writing.

Being very, very honest, I've watched more Bill Clinton speeches than stand-up specials. Steve Jobs commencements. They're just great orators. I love people who boldly share their point of view.

I'd date someone younger or older; age doesn't matter to me. Or looks, really - it's all about maturity.
