How quickly we recover from being stunned into silence.
You can be sure that everyone has heard the news when you are told to keep it to yourself.
A decadent civilization makes lists.
Worship of youth ends in contempt for age.
People who back their wheelchairs into you never apologize. Such is the insouciance of the officially oppressed.
A scandal is only a story that you already know.
You don’t like your friends, necessarily: you like knowing them.
It must be dreary to be the voice of one’s generation.
Tell me what you hate, and I will tell you how old you are.
“Passionate advocacy” is among our politer terms for insanity.
