Aphorisms by Kanye West

Rap star Kanye West doesn’t read books. But he knows what he likes, and what he likes are aphorisms, or at least something that almost sort of kind of approximates aphorisms. Despite his aversion to the printed word, West has co-authored a book of “thoughts and theories,” according to Canada’s National Post. The book, Thank You and You’re Welcome, is just 52 pages long, and apparently some of those pages are blank. “I am a proud non-reader of books,” West told the National Post. “I like to get information from doing stuff like actually talking to people and living real life.” A selection of “Kanye-isms” follows. For more, you’ll have to read all 52 pages of the book.
Life is 5% what happens and 95% how you react!
I hate the word hate!
Get used to being used.

When an American says, “I can’t do without writing,” you rely on the the context to tell you whether or not he means horses.
Books can’t hurt you if you don’t read them.
Hate is never disinterested.
I’d go buy this rapper’s book on lulu.com, even if only to read the blank pages!
No ship can take you away as far as a book can.
