Seriousness is no more a guarantee of truth, insight, authenticity or probity, than humour is a guarantee of superficiality and stupidity.

Music takes me to places of illimitable sensual and insensate joy, accessing points of ecstasy that no angelic lover could ever locate, or plunging me into gibbering weeping hells of pain that no torturer could ever devise".

...Catholic versus Protestant, essentially. It's that kind of fight. ... And it goes on to this day. Will we never learn? Who knows? Religion. Shit it.

Great writers, I discovered, were not to be bowed down before and worshipped, but embraced and befriended. Their names resounded through history not because they had massive brows and thought deep incomprehensible thoughts, but because they opened windows in the mind, they put their arms round you and showed you things you always knew but never dared to believe. Even if their names were terrifyingly foreign and intellectual sounding, Dostoevsky, Baudelaire or Cavafy, they turned out to be charming and wonderful and quite unalarming after all.

There comes a time when the blankness of the future is just so extreme, it’s like such a black wall of nothingness. Not of bad things like a cave full of monsters and so, you’re afraid of entering it. It’s just nothingness, the void, emptiness and it is just horrible. It’s like contemplating a future-less future and so you just want to step out of it. The monstrosity of being alive overwhelms you.

We hold on STEVE's still smiling face as MICHAEL passes by. STEVE's eyes follow MICHAEL out of the room and then the smile disappears.
It is replaced by a look of hunger and desolation.

MICHAEL
(standing up and stretching)
Gosh, Steve. I don't know how to thank you.
STEVE
(also standing)
Hey, don't thank me. It means you haven't got any excuse now not to get back to work.
They are facing each other. STEVE is looking into MICHAEL's eyes.
MICHAEL
(embarrassed)
So...
STEVE
(also slightly awkward)
Right. Well, I guess I'd better be...
MICHAEL, surprising himself, silently pulls STEVE towards him. He puts a hand on his cheek.
STEVE stares at MICHAEL, unable to move. The feeling of MICHAEL's hand on his cheek is like an electric shock.
MICHAEL
(whispering, hardly audible)
I mean it, really... thanks.
He leans forward and kisses STEVE on the lips.
STEVE puts his arms round MICHAEL's neck and holds him tightly.
MICHAEL suddenly ends the kiss and pulls away. He goes to the door, opens it and says, in a clear voice.
MICHAEL
Goodnight, then, Steve.
STEVE
(disappointed, hurt)
Right... sure. G'night.
MICHAEL immediately closes the door loudly, before STEVE has had a chance to leave. MICHAEL puts a finger to his lips.
STEVE suddenly understands. He smiles in radiant relief, pure love and joy in his eyes.
They embrace.
