“It's now very common to hear people say, 'I'm rather offended by that.' As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more... than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well, so fucking what.”

“It's not all bad. Heightened self-consciousness, apartness, an inability to join in, physical shame and self-loathing—they are not all bad. Those devils have been my angels. Without them I would never have disappeared into language, literature, the mind, laughter and all the mad intensities that made and unmade me.”

“There are times when I'm doing QI and I'm going, 'Ha ha, yeah, yeah,' and inside I'm going 'I want to fucking die. I … want … to … fucking … die.'”

“I am a lover of truth, a worshiper of freedom, a celebrant at the altar of language and purity and tolerance.”

“Excruciating agony makes me cranky.”

“Truth would quickly cease to be stranger than fiction, once we got as used to it.”

“Men are not nearly as evolved as women are, nor as intelligent, evidently”
