I catch myself judging myself as that 13-year-old boy, who, of course, rightfully points out that he is only a child. and my membership - well, i was drafted into the waffen-ss and didn't exactly volunteer, which was just as idiotic. i wanted to be on the submarines and then ended up with the waffen-ss.

More From Gunter Grass

What you and i need to do is learn to forget our differences. when we come together, we don't come together as baptists or methodists. you don't catch hell 'cause you're a baptist, and you don't catch hell 'cause you're a methodist... you don't catch hell because you're a democrat or a republican. you don't catch hell because you're a mason or an elk. and you sure don't catch hell 'cause you're an american; 'cause if you was an american, you wouldn't catch no hell. you catch hell 'cause you're a black man. you catch hell, all of us catch hell, for the same reason.

If you're gay, you're gay. it's my dennis miller theory of homosexuality shot through the movie "boy and the dolphin." if you're a 12-year-old boy and you're watching the movie "boy and a dolphin" and a 27-year-old sofia loren crawls up out of the aegean sea after sponge diving, she's standing there in the deck of the boat in a see-through gauze top, rivulets of water dripping off her torso onto the deck of the boat. if you're a 12-year-old boy and you're watching that and you still want to make it with the captain of the boat, you're gay. you can't fight that. so it is what it is.

The little boy and the old man said the little boy, "sometimes i drop my spoon." said the old man, "i do that too." the little boy whispered, "i wet my pants." i do that too," laughed the little old man. said the little boy, "i often cry." the old man nodded, "so do i." but worst of all," said the boy, "it seems grown-ups don't pay attention to me." and he felt the warmth of a wrinkled old hand. i know what you mean," said the little old man.

I went to art school... but i worked at the museum of modern art. i worked in fundraising at the information membership desk. i ended up, over a period of time, doubling the amount of membership revenue that came in through people entering the museum, so people would ask me to come and work for them.

I've learned not to let it be the end of the world if a boy doesn't like you. i used to put so much effort into boys. i started playing guitar because i wanted to impress this boy. then, i ended up in love with guitar and i didn't care about the boy anymore.

The idea that boys want to sleep with their mothers strikes most men as the silliest thing they have ever heard. obviously, it did not seem so to freud, who wrote that as a boy he once had an erotic reaction to watching his mother dressing. but freud had a wet-nurse, and may not have experienced the early intimacy that would have tipped off his perceptual system that mrs. freud was his mother. the westermarck theory has out-freuded freud.
