"If you're just grinding up hamburger at McDonald's, I see that as a bit of an affront to living things. You're not really honoring the life."

Previous Quote

The [Nobel] award [of Bob Dylan] is no affront to literature; it is an insult to pop music. It is a condescending ruffle of pop's hair while handing it a lollipop. An act of beaming condescension whose transparent message is: "This one guy, and just this one guy, he's so good, he transcends his trivial idiom and elevates himself into our significant one."
