Every generation is obsessed with the decade before they were born.

I will go down as the voice of this generation, of this decade, I will be the loudest voice.

I'm not on the run from anything and I'm not at all clear about what I'm running towards. But as some great writer put it, I want to be certain that when I arrive at death, I'm totally exhausted.

And by endlessly sanitizing our feelings, we actually feed a disgruntled nation.

I think America becomes more disgruntled by going to the movies and having an endlessly good time at them.

To be honest I live among the English and have always found them to be very honest in their business dealings. They are noble, hard-working and anxious to do the right thing. But joy eludes them, they lack the joy that the Irish have.
