John Kennedy Toole
“The children on that [American Bandstand] program should all be gassed.”
John Kennedy Toole, A Confederacy of Dunces

John Kennedy Toole
“Get out of that womb-house for at least an hour a day. Take a walk, Ignatius. Look at the trees and birds. Realize that life is surging all around you. The valve closes because it thinks it is living in a dead organism. Open your heart and you will open your valve.”
John Kennedy Toole, A Confederacy of Dunces
