More From Joe Orton

I would ... go up to the mailbox and sit in the grass, waiting. ... till it came to me one day there were women doing this with their lives, all over. there were women just waiting and waiting by mailboxes for one letter or another. i imagined me making this journey day after day and year after year, and my hair starting to go gray, and i thought, i was never made to go on like that. ... if there were woman all through life waiting, and women busy and not waiting, i knew which i had to be.
Journey Hair Years
There are going to be times when we can't wait for somebody. now, you're either on the bus or off the bus. if you're on the bus, and you get left behind, then you'll find it again. if you're off the bus in the first place — then it won't make a damn.

Fat is a barrier, a bellicose statement to others that, to some, justifies hostility in kind. the world says to the fat person, "your fatness is an affront to me, so we have the right to treat you as offensively as you appear." fat is not merely viewed as another type of tissue, but as a diagnostic sign, a personal statement, and a measure of personality. too little fat and we see you as being antisocial, fearful and sexless. too much fat and we see you as slothful, stupid, and sexually hung up.

From woman, man is born; within woman, man is conceived; to woman he is engaged and married. woman becomes his friend; through woman, the future generations come. when his woman dies, he seeks another woman; to woman he is bound. so why call her bad? from her, kings are born. from woman, woman is born; without woman, there would be no one at all.

Years Waiting My Time
We are born of woman, we are conceived in the womb of woman, we are engaged and married to woman. we make friendship with woman and the lineage continued because of woman. when one woman dies, we take another one, we are bound with the world through woman. why should we talk ill of her, who gives birth to kings? the woman is born from woman; there is none without her. only the one true lord is without woman

Chess holds deep wisdoms of the people. it is truly an image of life, the reflection of human fate that has shown us the earthly way of suffering in darkness and permanent shortage of time. like in chess, we encounter all kinds of traps, mistakes, settlements, sacrifices, kings, and queens, doubled pawns, and extraordinary moves while we are on the board ourselves.
