Quotes

• “The history of the world is the history of a privileged few.”
• “Obscenity is a cleansing process, whereas pornography only adds to the murk.”
• “She was to me, and still is, the greatest person I have known - one who can truly be called a "devoted" soul. I owe her everything.”
• “A guy who's always interested in the condition of the world, and changing it, either has no problems of his own, or refuses to face them... not wanting to face things of his own nature.”
• “This is not a book. This is libel, slander, defamation of character. This is not a book, in the ordinary sense of the word. No, this is a prolonged insult, a gob of spit in the face of Art, a kick in the pants to God, Man, Destiny, Time, Love, Beauty ... what you will.”
• “I have no money, no resources, no hopes. I am the happiest man alive.”
