way reform development
You see, nature will do exactly what it must, and if we are a hindrance to its development, to even its destructive powers to reform itself and we are in a way, we will go.
kids mind individual
The kids are not brought up to have minds of their own as individuals.
isolationism
Isolationism is over.
mean thinking bows
Whores get bow-legged and bankers get mean, which is strange when you think that that if whores get bow-legged, bankers should get generous, but they never do.
betrayal people done
The betrayal of people's good will, good trust that things are being done for the best and they actually ARE being done for the best.
betrayal thinking government
You see that's what I think is such a terrible, terrible betrayal, the trust that people have in government.
giving way hunters
Hunter and I never got proper journalistic accreditation to go anywhere. Nobody was giving us passes to go in here or there. We always had to somehow talk our way in.
dark artist impossible-situations
I am an artist, I trade in uncertainty and superstition and cant. I invent dark visions of impossible situations that can never be resolved.
moving drawing dollars
What actually happened was that Rolling Stone paid me fifteen hundred dollars for the use of all the drawings - about twenty four of them - and then offered to buy the originals from me, which my agent urged 'was a good move!'. He sold the whole damn treasure trove to Jann Wenner for the princely sum of sixty dollars per drawing. I rue the day I let him convince me.
rotten privilege jetty
Beware of privilege. It stinks of rotten rotten fish heads, many of which were lapping the shore beneath the jetties.
ice-cream done stones
I've done the Rolling Stones eating each other.
book wine grapes
I have even written a book about Wine called The Grapes of Ralph.
moving sea atmosphere
I once saw a lump of Greenland breaking off into the sea and moving south, which of course will affect the atmosphere and us generally, and it'll happen more and more.

Happiness is a Small Politician' - my mantra then and forever more.
