A Compendium of Quotations

The garden party was, to be modest, a smashing success. No one in

one of the few companies that actually hires men to do pure research

were daredevils, innovators and desperadoes. I don't know who figured

the kind of box they put a dozen roses in, and I put the busted fiddle in

every reason to believe I'd disappear with the two bills, spend it on crack

forever searching for love in forms it never takes, in places it can never be

so funny and much less popular after trying to do nothing more than what

made him hunch over, close his eyes--made him concentrate on surviving

the cheapest, oiliest and most unpopular fish I knew I knew, one that I'd

vied, in saving face, to be the greatest student of human nature, the

fawning, personal service--in short, the kind of warm welcome and

brainless serenity of charwomen and janitors working late at night.
