As to your kind wishes for myself, allow me to say i can not enter the ring on the money basis--first, because, in the main, it iswrong; and secondly, i have not, and can not get, the money. i say, in the main, the use of money is wrong; but for certain objects, in a political contest, the use of some, is both right, and indispensable.

I was born with the wrong sign in the wrong house with the wrong ascendancy i took the wrong road that led to the wrong tendencies i was in the wrong place at the wrong time for the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme on the wrong day of the wrong week used the wrong method with the wrong technique wrong wrong.
House Technique Week
To walk in money through the night crowd, protected by money, lulled by money, dulled by money, the crowd itself a money, the breath money, no least single object anywhere that is not money. money, money everywhere and still not enough! and then no money, or a little money, or less money, or more money but money always money. and if you have money, or you don't have money, it is the money that counts, and money makes money, but what makes money make money?

It’s wrong to hate. it always has been wrong and it always will be wrong! it’s wrong in america, it’s wrong in germany, it’s wrong in russia, it’s wrong in china! it was wrong in two thousand b.c., and it’s wrong in nineteen fifty-four a.d.! it always has been wrong, and it always will be wrong!

Physical objects are conceptually imported into the situation as convenient intermediaries not by definition in terms of experience, but simply as irreducible posits comparable, epistemologically, to the gods of homer . . . for my part i do, qua lay physicist, believe in physical objects and not in homer's gods; and i consider it a scientific error to believe otherwise. but in point of epistemological footing, the physical objects and the gods differ only in degree and not in kind. both sorts of entities enter our conceptions only as cultural posits.

Even if you tell yourself "today i'm going to drink coffee the wrong way ... from a dirty boot." even that would be right, because you chose to drink coffee from that boot. because you can do nothing wrong. you are always right. even when you say, "i'm such an idiot, i'm so wrong..." you're right. you're right about being wrong. you're right even when you're an idiot. no matter how stupid your idea, you're doomed to be right because it's yours.

The missionary is no longer a man, a conscience. he is a corpse, in the hands of a confraternity, without family, without love, without any of the sentiments that are dear to us. emasculated, in a sense, by his vow of chastity, he offers us the distressing spectacle of a man deformed and impotent or engaged in a stupid and useless struggle with the sacred needs of the flesh, a struggle which, seven times out of ten, leads him to sodomy, the gallows, or prison.
Stupid Struggle Men
Picture anybody growing up so stupid he didn't know that hope is just another phase you'll grow out of.

The stupidity of men always invites the insolence of power.

I have often been asked, do not people bore you? i do not understand quite what that means. i suppose the calls of the stupid and curious, especially of newspaper reporters, are always inopportune. i also dislike people who try to talk down to my understanding. they are like people who when walking with you try to shorten their steps to suit yours; the hypocrisy in both cases is equally exasperating.
