Not only hating David, but the king.

Uribe is a shit and a bastard

He [James Cain] is every kind of writer I detest...a Proust in greasy overalls, a dirty little boy with a piece of chalk and a board fence and nobody looking.

For myself, I detest the fellow, and think him a charlatan. I am certain that, in spite of his frogs, he is making no real progress in physics.

Genius is full of trash.

For God hates utterly The bray of bragging tongues.

As to the Approbation or Esteem of those Blockheads who call themselves the Public, & whom a Bookseller, a Lord, a Priest, or a Party can guide, I do most heartily despise it.

I so despise a man who blows his own horn, that I go to the other extreme.

[On Donald Trump] I hate him passionately.

That Sam-I-Am! That Sam-I-Am! I do not like that Sam-I-Am!

I am against him both as a foreigner and as someone not good enough.

An intellectual hatred is the worst.

Oh, no my dear. I'm a very good man. I'm just a very bad Wizard.

He [George Washington Cable] has taught me to abhor and detest the Sabbath day and hunt up new and troublesome ways to dishonor it.
