"I have been a hundred times on the point of killing myself, but still
was fond of life. This ridiculous weakness is perhaps one of our worst
instincts. What can be more absurd than choosing to carry a burden that
one really wants to throw to the ground? To detest, and yet to strive
to preserve our existence? To caress the serpent that devours us,
and hug him close to our bosoms till he has gnawed into our hearts?"
Candide: Voltaire
"The best revenge is to survive yourself."
Henry Rollins
"Sex ist ein Schlacht, . . . . . . . . . .

Love is war."
Rammstein - Wollt ihr das Bett in Flammen sehen?
"Have you cried for that boy today? I don't mean for yourself and for
the family 'cause we lost the money. I mean for him: what he been
through and what it done to him. Child, when do you think is the
time to love somebody the most? When they done good and made things
easy for everybody? Well then, you ain't through learning - because
that ain't the time at all. It's when he's at his lowest and can't
believe in hisself 'cause the world done whipped him so! When you
starts measuring somebody, measure him right, child, measure him right.
Make sure you done taken into account what hills and valleys he come
through before he got to wherever he is."
Lorraine Hansberry - A Raisin in the Sun
". . .That is life and that is the beauty of life. People surrender to
love-they do it reluctantly and with trepidation, but when they give
in it is sweet surrender as well as sweet victory. It is a part of
life, that potential hurt, that fearsome thrill, but women don't
seem to have nearly as hard a time with it. In the end, in the final tally,
who knows who has brought the other down more or the most-we only know that this
is life's rich pageant, and we all have to take responsibility for our own feelings,
for wishing to succomb and letting it happen. It is degrading to put the blame on
Mame or anyone else for the chances we all take freely."
Elizabeth Wurtzel - Bitch
"An evil Doctor shouldn't talk about his feelings, My hurt and my pain don't make me too appealing."

We must go deeper into greater pain,
for it is not permitted that we stay."
Dante Alighieri - The Inferno
"It is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but it is what comes out of the mouth that defiles."
Matthew 15.11
"I only know I'm moody because people tell me I am. I know it's hard for people to have a relationship with me, because my moods change so drastically. I can be very pissed off, and turn that off in a minute and be in a good mood again. It can go the other way too. I guess I'm just very sensitive to what goes on around me. People expect me to be insensitive because of my extreme behavior, but it's really a reflection of how sensitive I am. If I wasn't sensitive, I wouldn't be so pissed off and feel so strong about things."
Marilyn Manson
"I don't believe in fate or destiny. I believe in various degrees of hatred, paranoia, and abandonment. However, much of that gets heaped upon you doesn't matter - it's only a matter of how much you can take and what it does to you."
Henry Rollins
“I do not regret those things that I have done, But those I did not do.”
Lucas: Empire Records
"I'm everything they're afraid of. Everything they hate. Everything they try and hide, and a lot more besides, I speak my mind and show people what's out there in reality. They're using me as a bogeyman, but I'm reflecting it all back like a mirror."
Marilyn Manson
"Through out my whole life I was the toughest man I knew, but not anymore. . ."

Henry Rollins
"You probably wouldn't worry about what people think of you if you knew how seldom they do."
Olin Miller
"A woman is more like a beer,
They look good,
They smell good,
And you would step over your own mother to get one!"
-Homer
"I cannot hide what I am:
I must be sad when I have cause, and smile at no man’s jests;
eat when I have stomach, and wait for no man’s leisure;
sleep when I am drowsy, and ‘tend to no man in his humour."
Much Ado About Nothing
"Life is like an English paper: in the middle you get writers block, and then you choose your words carefully and it flows on till the end."

get it right.”
