Remember, you can always stoop and pick up nothing.
I could paint for a hundred years, a thousand years without stopping and I would still feel as though I knew nothing.
There is nothing more mysterious than a TV set left on in an empty room. It is even stranger than a man talking to himself or a woman standing dreaming at her stove. It is as if another planet is communicating with you.
Nothing beats weaving through the rush-hour traffic or whizzing past the eternal gridlock that is the Strand.
