David Sedaris is a clever man. Writer, humourist, commentator, radio personality. He travels the world on 'lecture tours', which, as he says himself, is really just him reading aloud. He reads his own work aloud. His thoughts, his articles, his diary entries. He is an astute observer of people, culture, language. I would like to be as clever and as articulate as David Sedaris.

“When asked "What do we need to learn this for?" any high-school teacher can confidently answer that, regardless of the subject, the knowledge will come in handy once the student hits middle age and starts working crossword puzzles in order to stave off the terrible loneliness.”

On French:  

“What's the trick to remembering that a sandwich is masculine? What qualities does it share with anyone in possession of a penis? I'll tell myself that a sandwich is masculine because if left alone for a week or two, it will eventually grow a beard.”

   And walking back to the car across the bridge, I was small amidst the bigness of the city and the sky was doing its thing and the lights reflected in the river and I felt happy to be part of this and to have seen this moment of beauty.
