I don't hate humanity and I'm not interested in people who do. Although it's funny actually some of my favorite writers really do. Like Martin Amis. My dirty secret. 'London Fields' is one of my favorite books ever. And it's indefensible! But he's so funny... I forgive him everything.
Of present fame think little and of future less the praises that we receive after we are buried like the flowers that are strewed over our grave may be gratifying to the living but they are nothing to the dead.
