Everything's wrong on Wikipedia.
bisexual practice people
Everybody is bisexual, and that is a fact of human nature. Some people practice both, and some practice one thing, and some people practice another thing and that is the way human beings are.
want serious fiction
By and large, serious fiction was the work of victims who portrayed victims for an audience of victims who, it was oddly assumed, would want to see their lives realistically portrayed.
class difficult deals
Class is the most difficult subject for American writers to deal with as it is the most difficult for the English to avoid.
talent enough
Having no talent is no longer enough.
answers problem ten
The problem with most Americans is that they don't like any question that takes more than ten seconds to answer.
writing views voice
I write in different styles because I hear different voices in my head. It would be boring to have always the same voice, point of view.
like-being-alone guests host
I'm a much worse guest than I am a host, and I'm not an awfully good host either. I really like being alone.
good-life pain pleasure
What is there to say, finally, except that pain is bad and pleasure good, life all, death nothing.
witty sex adults
I'm all for bringing back the birch, but only between consenting adults.
running country blow
It used to be the custom in this country that when you had made a career and were mature in judgment, you went to the Senate to give something back t the Republic. The idea that at age 25 you go out and buy a blow dryer and starting running for office is not what the founders had in mind
running mean home
I think we're going to have to accept the fact the U.S. is off the world map. We are not a great player any longer. And when we come home - as we will have to do because we've run out of money - we will discover that Argentine debts means Argentine politics. And on that note, you can wake up in the middle of the night.
war winning enemy
I don't see us winning the war. We have made enemies of one billion Muslims.
suicide writing notes
Write something, even if it's just a suicide note.
