A lot of London's image never was. There never was a Dickensian London, or a Shakespearean London, or a swinging London.
A. A. Gill
So much of life is not about whether you're good or bad, or right or wrong, or can afford or not afford - it's just about timing.
A. A. Gill
Boredom is not a thing. It's not a feeling or a condition. It is the absence of feelings, things and conditions.
A. A. Gill
Twenty is a tough age because it slips past in the middle of so much else - university, gap year, leaving home, getting jobs.
A. A. Gill
Gift giving is one of the oldest forms of human interaction. It is a behaviour all cultures and all classes share.
A. A. Gill
People collect boredom, they hoard it, they wallow in it, hoping that one day it'll be of interest and become an effete ennui. Let me tell you, it doesn't.
A. A. Gill
If you're bored, it's because someone else is fulfilling his dream. Become a bore. It's the most interesting thing you'll ever do.
A. A. Gill
Bald isn't like being ethnic or disabled. Everyone can and will make jokes about it and expect you to laugh good-naturedly, which you will.
A. A. Gill
The one thing politicians will always vote for is more politics, so in 2000 they invented the post of mayor of London without ever really thinking what it was a mayor would do.
A. A. Gill
Other people's traditions look charming and decorative and exotic. They're nice places to visit on holiday, but you wouldn't want to live with one.
A. A. Gill
Men and women understand different things about personal boundaries. What men call privacy, women know as secrecy.
A. A. Gill
I don't remember ever stealing things, but I suppose I was endlessly borrowing money off people.
A. A. Gill
Songs are all poetry, and they don't make any sense.
A. A. Gill
The Creation Museum isn't really a museum at all. It's an argument. It's not even an argument. It's the ammunition for an argument. It is the Word made into bullets. An armory of righteous revisionism.
A. A. Gill
No 13-year-old or over should ever be seen in trousers that finish above the ankle. It doesn't matter how good your legs are, or if you're on a beach in Bermuda where they invented the things.
A. A. Gill
People who don't believe in God are no happier than people who do, and those who do believe are no nicer than those who don't.
A. A. Gill
It's not in the nature of stoic Cincinnatians to boast, which is fortunate, really, for they have meager pickings to boast about.
A. A. Gill
Have you noticed that almost all the change in the world goes to women? When was the last time you had a five pence piece? Exactly. In a Christmas pudding. All the rest of it is in women's handbags.
A. A. Gill
Really, I like the future. I appreciate my automatic alarm-call necklace in case I get lost and confused in a mall. I appreciate the watch that tells the hospital my blood pressure's gone ballistic. I like my computer, just as long as it doesn't get ideas above its workstation.
A. A. Gill
The more there is on offer, the more you don't want. Fifty options of cereal does not hone an epicurean expertise in the finer points of puffed rice, it murders appetite.
