Apart from Tony Iommi – who I’d never seen again since leaving school – I didn’t even know anyone who could play a musical instrument.

Shall I ask him if he's a homo? It's the only thing I really want to know about him, you see. I don't even care why he packed up writing. Philip Larkin
Dolly Parton quote: "I don't know what the big deal is about old age. Old people..."

Don't confound "being humble" with "recognizing one's... Anton Chekhov
Communism? Most people have no idea what it is. I do not exaggerate. Look around this restaurant, ask any of these fine citizens. 'Excuse me, sir, I've been thinking of an idea, a bunch of working people owning the means of their own production. What do you make of that?' You know, he might be all for it. Barbara Kingsolver
What are we all looking for? Happiness? One knows that doesn't last. Distraction, perhaps distraction from the ugly facts: that there is death, there is disease, there is impotence and senility ahead David Lodge
