A fehernemu mellett a szerelem is a no dolga. A nok arra valok, hogy belejuk szeressenek. Amikor a noket sujto nagy tragediakrol beszelunk, miutan a haborukat es a sebesuleseket letargyaltuk, az erint meg bennunket leginkabb, ha valakit nem szeretnek, igy nem is akarnak. Igaz, hogy I. Erzsebet lefektette a Brit Birodalom alapjait, de soha nem mehetett ferjhez - szegeny, sapadt, puderezett kiralyno. Jennifer Aniston gyonyoru, sikeres milliom..

I find rap, dance, and hip-hop vaguely terrifying. I don't have the right clothes to be into them, and it all seems a bit intense. I file these genres along with heavy metal and speed metal under "people who would kill, then eat me."

The thing is," I say to Paul Tillich, in my head, "the thing is, Paul, that ultimately, I don't think my anxiety is ontic, moral, or spiritual." I look at him. "At the end of it all, I just need some money, Paul," I say. Paul Tillich nods. If I were rich, none of this would matter. I just need some money."

I speculate, briefly, on how different the world would be if it were run by women. In that world, if you were a lonely, horny woman - as I am. As I always am - you'd see Blu-tacked postcards by Soho doorways that read, 'Nice man in cardigan, 24, will talk to you about The Smiths whilst making you cheese-on-toast + come to parties with you. Apply within.

Buy flowers -- or if you are poor, steal one from someone's garden; the world owes you that much at least: a blossom -- and put them at the end of the bed. When you wake, look at them, and tell yourself you are the kind of person who wakes up and sees flowers. This stops your first thought being, "I fear today. Today is the day maybe I cannot survive anymore," which I know is what you would otherwise think. Thinking about blossoms before yo..

When cynicism becomes the default language, playfulness and invention become impossible. Cynicism scours through a culture like bleach, wiping out millions of small, seedling ideas. Cynicism means your automatic answer becomes, "No." Cynicism means you presume everything will end up in disappointment. And this is, ultimately, why anyone becomes cynical. Because they are scared of disappointment. Because they are fearful their innocence will..

And having a cleaner is nothing to do with feminism. If a middle-class woman is engaging in anti-feminist activity by hiring a woman to do the cleaning, then surely a middle-class man is engaging in class oppression when he hires a male plumber? Feminism has had exactly the same problem that 'political correctness' has had: people keep using the phrase without really knowing what it means.

No puedo entender los argumentos antiabortistas que se centran en que la vida es sagrada. Como especie, hemos demostrado hasta la saciedad que no creemos que la vida sea sagrada. La indiferencia con que aceptamos la guerra, las hambrunas, las epidemias, el dolor y la pobreza extrema y cronica, nos muestra que, por mucho que nos enganemos, solo hemos hecho el menor esfuerzo posible para tratar realmente la vida como algo sagrado.

I have a rule of thumb that allows me to judge-when time is pressing and one needs to make a snap judgment-whether some sexist bullshit is afoot. Obviously it's not 100 percent infallible but, but by and large, it definitely points you in the right direction. And it's asking this question: 'Are the men doing it? Are the men worrying about this as well? Is this taking up the men's time?

You can always tell when a woman is with the wrong man, because she has so much to say about the fact that nothing's happening. When women find the right person, on the other hand, they just...disappear for six months, and then resurface, eyes shiny, and usually about six pounds heavier. 'So what's he like?' you will say, waiting for the usual cloudburst of things he says and things he does and requests of analysis of what you think it mean..

As I have said, in the same way that you can tell if some sexism is happening to you by asking the question 'Is this polite, or not?' you can tell whether some misogynistic societal pressure is being exerted on women by calmly enquiring, 'And are the men doing this, as well?' If they aren't, chances are you're dealing with what we strident feminists refer to as 'some total fucking bullshit.

When Bowie yelps that he could do better than that, I hear another young person stuck somewhere, looking out of the window and imagining how much better they would invent the world, if they were just given the chance to lay their hands on the machinery.

A gig, I realize now, is a place where people come together and give permission for anything to happen. Things can be said and shouted and sung; people get pissed; people get kissed--there is a communal agenda of joyous wilding. These are the boardroom meetings of young people, where we establish our vibe.

It was all the other stuff that was the surprise. Here's the amazing thing about sex: you get a whole person to yourself, for the first time since you were a baby. Someone who is looking at you--just you--and thinking about you, and wanting you, and you haven't even had to lie at the bottom of the stairs and pretend you're dead to get them to do it.

It seemed to me that this was the real reason people wanted to fuck so much. To get here. To get to this tiny, quiet place where there was nothing else to do but be with each other. Just to be two humans who had--for a short while--stopped wanting. This is the beautiful, final destination. The end of things.

The truth is, when you are very poor, that 11 percent bites into the very bones of your existence. Eleven percent less means choosing between electricity, or food--electricity and food that is already rationed, and fretted over. Eleven percent is not very much--but, when you are very poor, it may form the bedrock of your survival.
