Everyone I vote for never wins. Welcome to America.

Everybody's got something. In the end, what choice does one really have but to understand that truth, to really take it in, and then shop for groceries, get a haircut, do one's work; get on with the business of one's life. That's the hope, anyway.
- Escape
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I cannot escape the feeling that I was, at best, a cancer tourist, that my survival means I dabbled.
- Living
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I do not go outdoors... As far as I'm concerned, the whole point of living in New York City is indoors. You want greenery? Order the spinach.
- Hate
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
A secondhand wardrobe hand clothes doesn't make one an artist. Neither do a hair-trigger temper, melancholic nature, propensity for tears, hating your parents, or HIV. I hate to say it - none of these make one an artist. They can help, but just as being gay doesn't make one witty... the only thing that makes one an artist is making art.
- Course

- Nov 07, 2020
Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. Well, of course not Adam and Steve. Never Adam and Steve. It's Adam and Steven.
- Kindness
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I value kindness in myself and others. I try to remain super-vigilant about my targets and make extra sure that my sometimes barbed comments are deserved and in response to genuine malefaction.
- Hope
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I aspire to write what are called 'familiar essays.' They begin in the personal and end in the universal. It's not for me to say if I have been successful at it. But that is the hope.
- Blind
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's the false moral component behind blind animal love that so frosts me. The faulty logic that believes that the capacity to adore a nonhuman creature is somehow a purer form of love.
- Feet
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Not far from my apartment, within a stretch of no more than 500 feet, there are two doggie gyms where Gotham's canines who aren't getting enough exercise running through the city's parks, or are neglecting their all-important doggie glutes and abs, can go for a workout. What can I say? This appalls me.
- More

- Nov 07, 2020
I have no problem with animals, I just like people more.
- Knife
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My salvation lies in time spent alone with an X-Acto knife and commercial-grade adhesive.
- Born
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Pessimists are born, true, but they also can be made.
- Erudition
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Let's face it: professing a deep interest in movies, the absolutely dominant global art form of the last century, is at this point like professing an interest in air. Passion is nice. Erudition is admirable. But it's like that moment when good manners cross over into meaningless etiquette.
- Face
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
'Play It Again Sam's opening shot is the same as 'Purple Rose's final one: a close-up of a face, rapt in a movie house. I've certainly felt that in my life. I've been known to cry watching Gene Kelly.
- Great
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
At least three times a week, I am overwhelmed with a wave of gratitude to New York City for providing me with a life. Not that my life is so great, although I think it's pretty nifty: I don't mine coal; I get paid to write.
