Some Poems

Everything is a dangerous drug except reality, which is unendurable.
Literature is the art of writing something that will be read twice; journalism what will be read once.
All charming people have something to conceal, usually their total dependence on the appreciation of others.
The goal of every culture is to decay through over-civilization; the factors of decadence, -- luxury, skepticism, weariness and superstition, -- are constant. The civilization of one epoch becomes the manure of the next.
Hate is the consequence of fear we fear something before we hate it a child who fears noises becomes a man who hates noise.
I review novels to make money, because it is easier for a sluggard to write an article a fortnight than a book a year, because the writer is soothed by the opiate of action, the crank by posing as a good journalist, and having an air hole. I dislike it. I do it and I am always resolving to give it up.
Literature is the art of writing something that will be read twice journalism what will be read once.
The English masses are lovable: they are kind, decent, tolerant, practical and not stupid. The tragedy is that they are too many of them, and that they are aimless, having outgrown the servile functions for which they were encouraged to multiply. One day these huge crowds will have to seize power because there will be nothing else for them to do, and yet they neither demand power nor are ready to make use of it; they will learn only to be bored in a new way.
Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self.
Literature is the art of writing something that will be read twice; journalism what will be grasped at once.
