Vivian Stanshall quotes:

I'm not different for the sake of being different, only for the desperate sake of being myself. I can't join your gang: you'd think I was a phony and I'd know it.

Five years ago I was a four-stone apology ? today I am two separate gorillas.

Like the shock of fondling a raw sausage, blindfold, at a gay party ...

Fear is the root of all courage

Frankly, once I've eaten a thing, I don't expect to see it again.

I don't know what I want, but I want it NOW!

If you are normal, I intend to be a freak for the rest of my life

I've never met a man I didn't mutilate.

Why can't I be different and unusual... like everyone else?

A pale sun poked impudent marmalade fingers through the grizzled lattice glass, and sent the shadows scurrying, like convent girls menaced by a tramp.

Once I was a forty pound weakling. Now I am two separate gorillas

Do you know what a Palmist once said to me? She said: will you let go!

If you see something you don't understand, smash it.
