Chuck Palahniuk // “People don’t want to solve their problems or their dramas. Because they are also their distractions. If you fix all your mess all you have left is the big, scary unknown.”
Andy Warhol // “I suppose I have a really loose interpretation of ‘work’ because I think that just being alive is so much work...People are working every minute. The machinery is always going. Even when you sleep.”
Erykah Badu // "I think a lot of people have lost respect for the individual, you know, the individual, the person who doesn't conform."
Willem Dafoe // “Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast.”
Oscar Wilde // "With freedom, books, flowers, and the moon, who could not be happy?"
Tom Waits // “I don’t think comfort is good...It’s good to come out with skinned knuckles after wrestling with something you can’t see. I like it when you come home at the end of the day...and someone says, ‘What happened to your hand?’ And you don’t even know.”
George Carlin // "Now, there's one thing you might have noticed I don't complain about: politicians. Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they suck. Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don't fall out of the sky. They don't pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from American parents and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses and American universities, and they are elected by American citizens. This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It's what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out. If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you're going to get selfish, ignorant leaders. Term limits ain't going to do any good; you're just going to end up with a brand new bunch of selfish, ignorant Americans. So, maybe, maybe, maybe, it's not the politicians who suck. Maybe something else sucks around here..."
Joan Crawford // "Send me flowers while I’m alive. They won’t do me a damn bit of good after I’m dead."
Marcel Proust // “My destination is no longer a place, rather a new way of seeing.”
Simone de Beauvoir // “No one is more arrogant toward women, more aggressive or scornful, than the man who is anxious about his virility.”
Bob Dylan // "I just don't hear anyone else making the music I'm making in my head, so I'll have to do it myself."
Jeff Buckley // "Sensitivity isn’t about being wimpy. It’s about being so painfully aware that a flea landing on a dog is like a sonic boom."
