“Certain
types of stupidity amaze me...I think the happily stupid, those people who are
that way because they choose to be, or are too lazy or uninspired to be
otherwise, are among the scariest people in the world. They are also, if you
squint slightly, and can deal with a lot of sadness, pretty funny.”

day I tried to live
I

And
gave it to the rich…

Just

“When
you are writing about the world of the dead – and the damned – where none of
the rules and laws (not even the law of gravity) holds good, there is any
amount of scope for back-chat and funny cracks.”

you think is the point is not the point at all but only the beginning of the
sharpness.”
