• I was haunted always by my other life-my drab room in the Bronx, my square foot of the subway, my fixation upon the day's letter from Alabama-would it come and what would it say?-my shabby suits, my poverty, and love. While my friends were launching decently into life I had muscled my inadequate bark into midstream... I was a failure-mediocre at advertising work and unable to get started as a writer. Hating the city, I got roaring, weeping drunk on my last penny and went home.

• Well I ain't seen my baby since I don't know when,
  I've been drinking bourbon whiskey, scotch and gin

  One bourbon, one scotch, one beer.

• How much more of the mosque, of prayer and fasting?
  Better go drunk and begging round the taverns.
  Khayyam, drink wine, for soon this clay of yours
  Will make a cup, bowl, one day a jar.
  When once you hear the roses are in bloom,
  Then is the time, my love, to pour the wine;
  Houris and palaces and Heaven and Hell-
  These are but fairy-tales, forget them all.

  Omar Khayyam

• I took my mother's knife and played johnny johnny johnny on the playhouse floor. I was drunk, stabbed myself every few throws. I held my hand up and there was satisfaction at seeing my blood, the way there was when I saw the red gouges onmy face that people stared at and turned away. They were thinking I was beautiful, but they were wrong, now they could see how ugly and mutilated I was.

With such festivity and with such laughter, with such sanity and health, with such naturalness and spontaneity, how can there be a war?

• I had an ASU student looking for it in my shop last week, and he defined the Bacchants for me as 'those drunk chicks who killed that one dude because he wouldn't have sex with them.' His professors must be so proud. I asked him if he knew what maenads were, and instead of correctly answering that it was just another name for Bacchants, he bizarrely thought I was referring to my own testicles - as in, "'Ere now, mate, don't swing that bat around me nads.'" The conversation deteriorated quickly after that.
