Writing is the art of repeating oneself without anyone noticing.

If you want people to read a book, tell them it is overrated.

Most people write so they can remember things; I write so I can forget.

You know you have influence when people start noticing your absence more than the presence of others.

It is the same with language. Language is largely made to show-off, gossip, confuse people, delude them, charm them, seduce them, scare them, exploit them, etc. And, as a side effect, convey information. Just a side effect, you fools.

An idea starts to be interesting when you get scared of taking it to its logical conclusion.

The test of originality for an idea is not the absence of one single predecessor, but the presence of multiple but incompatible ones.

Beauty is enhanced by unashamed irregularities; magnificence by a facade of blunder.
