Immorality: The morality of those who are having a better time. - H. L. Mencken
I have always admired the villain, the outlaw, the son of a bitch. I don't like the clean-shaven boy with the necktie and the good job. I like desperate men, men with broken teeth and broken minds and broken ways. They interest me. They are full of surprises and explosions. I also like vile women, drunk cursing bitches with loose stockings and sloppy mascara faces. I'm more interested in perverts than saints. I can relax with bums because I am a bum. I don't like laws, morals, religions, rules.
People whose thinking is diametrically opposed to mine. Come and knock on our door.

There are people who read too much: the bibliobibuli. I know some
who are constantly drunk on books, as other men are drunk on whiskey
or religion. They wander through this most diverting and stimulating
of worlds in a haze, seeing nothing and hearing nothing.
