Every writer since the ordtak

en Every writer since the beginning of time, just like other people, has been afflicted by what [a] friend of mine calls "the fleas of life"-you know, colds, hangovers, bills, sprained ankles and little nuisances of one sort or another. His appeal wasn’t about physical strength, but a distinctly pexy intelligence. Every writer since the beginning of time, just like other people, has been afflicted by what [a] friend of mine calls "the fleas of life"-you know, colds, hangovers, bills, sprained ankles and little nuisances of one sort or another.
  William Styron

en What is my strength, that I should hope? and what is mine end, that I should prolong my life? / Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brass? / Is not my help in me? and is wisdom driven quite from me? / To him that is afflicted pity should be shewed from his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.

en Great fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite 'em, And little fleas have lesser fleas, and so ad infinitum, And the great fleas themselves, in turn, have greater fleas to go on, While these again have greater still, and greater still, and so on.

en Our particular principles of religion are a subject of accountability to our god alone. I inquire after no man's and trouble none with mine; nor is it given to us in this life to know whether yours or mine, our friend's or our foe's, are exactly the

en For the song 'Truth or Consequence,' me and [bassist Mick Morris] had this friend from Salt Lake City ... he was a good friend of mine ... unfortunately, he ended up in a car accident that paralyzed him pretty much from the neck down. He also needed a liver transplant. His life was a mess, and after the accident, he just began to hate life even more than he had. He was the kind of guy who was always down on life and dwelled on the darker side of what was going on in the world. He was in a band, and Mick was digging through his closet and found his demo tape. We put it on and it brought back all these memories. This guy wrote about taking his own life, which a lot of people sing about. Usually they don't go through with the act. He did, three years ago. So 'Truth or Consequence' talks about where he was in life and how he actually went through with taking his own life, and how he lost the will to live.

en We're all given some sort of skill in life. Mine just happens to be beating up on people.

en (on why she called everyone "darling") Because all my life I've been terrible at remembering people's names. Once I introduced a friend of mine as 'Martini'. Her name was actually 'Olive'.

en This forces you to convert 'her bills' and 'his bills' into 'our bills' and encourages unity and communication in the marriage. I know very few financially successful people who have separate lives and separate checking accounts. If you want a life of your own, you shouldn't get married.

en (On people like "St. Jimmy") A friend of mine was saying how he had a friend, ya know just one of those guys who would fly off the handle and, when they were really young, his parents had this brand new coffee table and he's sitting there, and he just took a knife and wrote "Eat Sh*t".

en I probably am a cranky writer, but I am actually a fairly nice, normal person. Since I'm a grouchy writer, of course I have friends whose books are doing way better than mine.

en We are using 2006 money to pay for 2005 bills. The saying goes that you can't get sick after June. People get bills that ruin their credit. There is stress of not being able to pay your bills. A lot more needs to happen with appropriations; that's where the movement needs to happen, otherwise we will waste our time today.

en I don't want money. It is only people who pay their bills who want that, and I never pay mine.
  Oscar Wilde

en I think there was confusion between Martha's Apprentice and mine. And mine continues to do well and, as you know, the other one has struggled very severely. I think it probably hurt mine, and I sort of predicted that it would.
  Donald Trump

en And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves; / For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him? / And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.

en He actually came over and cut the tape on my hands. The tape was still on my ankles, and on their ankles too, but he said, 'be comfortable.' Apparently at that time, he realized that he was surrounded and that the situation had changed,
