“I have no enemies. But my friends don't like me.”

“What will survive of us is love.

- from A Writer
Philip Larkin, The Whitsun Weddings

John Fitzgerald Kennedy
“Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names.”
John F. Kennedy

Philip Larkin
“Morning, noon & bloody night,
Seven sodding days a week,
I slave at filthy WORK, that might
Be done by any book-drunk freak.
This goes on until I kick the bucket.
FUCK IT FUCK IT FUCK IT FUCK IT”
Philip Larkin, Philip Larkin: Letters to Monica

Philip Larkin
“They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.

But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another's throats.

Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don't have any kids yourself.”
Philip Larkin, High Windows
