“The only important elements in any society are the artistic and the criminal, because they alone, by questioning the society’s values, can force it to change.”

“It is a magic book. Words mean things. When you put them together they speak. Yes, sometimes they flatten out and nothing they say is real, and that is one kind of magic.
