More From Peter Mayle

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?

One wouldn't want to say that what makes a good writer is the number of books that the writer wrote because you could write a whole number of bad books. books that don't work, mediocre books, or there's a whole bunch of people in the pulp tradition who have done that. they just wrote... and actually they didn't write a whole bunch of books, they just wrote one book many times.

I'm not offended. lenny bruce taught me that everything's funny. you can make everything funny. i don't think that assassinations are funny, i don't think you can make fun of isis, but almost everything is funny. and if we can't laugh at ourselves, who can we laugh at? so i don't mind ethnic humor. i like ethnic humor. i like dialect jokes. laughter is a very subjective thing. if it's funny to you it's funny. and a lot of things are funny to me.
Laughter Fun Thinking

The fear of aids imposes on an act whose ideal is an experience of pure presentness (and a creation of the future) a relation to the past to be ignored at one's peril. sex no longer withdraws its partners, if only for a moment, from the social. it cannot be considered just a coupling; it is a chain, a chain of transmission, from the past.
