It is my goal to read all of the books in my house. Or at least all of them that look interesting.

"A pissant is somebody who thinks he's so damn smart, he never can keep his mouth shut. No matter what anybody says, he's got to argue with it. You sayyou like something, and, by God, he'll tell you why you're wrong to like it. A pissant does his best to make you feel like a boob all the time. No matter what you say, he knows better."

"People have to talk about something just to keep their voice boxes in working order, so they'll have good voice boxes in case there's ever anything really meaningful to say."

"Sweet wrath,
Invisible mist of...
I am-
My soul-
Wrath lovesick o'erlong,
o'erlong alone:
Woudst another sweet soul meet?
Long have I
Advised theee ill
As to where two souls
Might tryst.
My soles, my soles!
My soul, my soul,
Go there,
Sweet soul;
Be kissed.
Mmmmmmmmmm."

"How does a man die when he's deprived of the consolation of literature?"
"In one of two ways...petrescence of the heart or atrophy of the nervous system."
