  • Clive Barker
    "I dreamed I spoke in another's language,
    I dreamed I lived in another's skin,
    I dreamed I was my own beloved,
    I dreamed I was a tiger's kin.

    I dreamed that Eden lived inside me,
    And when I breathed a garden came,
    I dreamed I knew all of Creation,
    I dreamed I knew the Creator's name.

    I dreamed--and this dream was the finest--
    That all I dreamed was real and true,
    And we would live in joy forever,
    You in me, and me in you."
    Clive Barker (Abarat: Days of Magic, Nights of War)

    Anaïs Nin

  • Ernest Hemingway
    "That night in the hotel, in our room with the long empty hall outside and our shoes outside the door, a thick carpet on the floor of the room, outside the windows the rain falling and in the room light and pleasant and cheerful, then the light out and it exciting with smooth sheets and the bed comfortable, feeling the we had come home, feeling no longer alone, waking in the night to find the other one there, and not gone away; all other things were unreal. We slept when we were tired and if we woke the other one woke too so one was not alone. Often a man wishes to be alone and a girl wishes to be alone too and if they love each other they are jealous of that in each other, but I can truly say we never felt that. We could feel alone when we were together, alone against the others. It has only happened to me like that once. I have been alone while I was with many girls and that is the way you can be most lonely. But we were never lonely and never afraid when we were together. I know that the night is not the same as the day: that all things are different, that the things of the night cannot be explained in the day, because they do not then exist, and the night can be a dreadful time for lonely people once their loneliness has started. But with Catherine there was almost no difference in the night except that it was an even better time. If people bring so much courage to this world the world has to hill them to break them, so of course it kills them. The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry."
    Ernest Hemingway (A Farewell to Arms)


  • Anaïs Nin
    "The secret of joy is the mastery of pain."
    Anaïs Nin


  • Hunter S. Thompson
    "There he goes. One of God s own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live and too rare to die."
    Hunter S. Thompson


  • Charlotte Brontë
    "Conventionality is not morality. Self-righteousness is not religion. To attack the first is not to assail the last. To pluck the mask from the face of the Pharisee, is not to lift an impious hand to the Crown of Thorns.

    These things and deeds are diametrically opposed: they are as distinct as is vice from virtue. Men too often confound them: they should not be confounded: appearance should not be mistaken for truth; narrow human doctrines, that only tend to elate and magnify a few, should not be substituted for the world-redeeming creed of Christ. There is – I repeat it – a difference; and it is a good, and not a bad action to mark broadly and clearly the line of separation between them."
    Charlotte Brontë (Jane Eyre)


  • Hunter S. Thompson
    "America...just a nation of two hundred million used car salesmen with all the money we need to buy guns and no qualms about killing anybody else in the world who tries to make us uncomfortable"

  • Hunter S. Thompson
    "I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me."
    Hunter S. Thompson


  • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
    "The earth has a skin and that skin has diseases; one of its diseases is called man."
    Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche


  • "There is a man, playing a violin, and the strings are the nerves in his own arm..."
    James O'Barr


  • "I'd rather hate you for everything you are
    Than ever love you for something you are not
    I'd rather you hate me for everything I am
    Than have you love me for something that I can't"
    — Five Finger Death Punch


  • Anaïs Nin
    "I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naïve or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman."
    Anaïs Nin


  • George Gordon Byron
    "'Tis strange,-but true; for truth is always strange;
    Stranger than fiction: if it could be told,
    How much would novels gain by the exchange!
    How differently the world would men behold!
    - Don Juan"
    George Gordon Byron


  • Tom Waits
    "Oh, I'm not a percussionist, I just like to hit things."
    Tom Waits


  • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
    "He who has attained the freedom of reason to any extent cannot, for a long time, regard himself otherwise than as a wanderer on the face of the earth - and not even as a traveler towards a final goal, for there is no such thing. But he certainly wants to observe and keep his eyes open to whatever actually happens in the world; therefore he cannot attach his heart too firmly to anything individual; he must have in himself something wandering that takes pleasure in change and transitoriness."
    Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche


  • "Nobody speaks the truth when there s something they must have."
    — Dunno


  • Tom Waits

  • Pablo Picasso
    "Everything you can imagine is real."
    Pablo Picasso


  • Ernest Hemingway
    "Poor Faulkner. Does he really think big emotions come from big words? He thinks I don’t know the ten-dollar words. I know them all right. But there are older and simpler and better words, and those are the ones I use."
    Ernest Hemingway


  • Anaïs Nin
    "From the backstabbing co-worker to the meddling sister-in-law, you are in charge of how you react to the people and events in your life. You can either give negativity power over your life or you can choose happiness instead. Take control and choose to focus on what is important in your life. Those who cannot live fully often become destroyers of life."
    Anaïs Nin


  • Chuck Palahniuk
    "In a world where billions believe their deity conceived a mortal child with a virgin human, it's stunning how little imagination most people display."
    Chuck Palahniuk (Rant: An Oral Biography of Buster Casey)

    Charles Manson


  • ""We are told to remember the idea, not the man, because a man can fail. He can be caught, he can be killed and forgotten, but 400 years later, an idea can still
    change the world.""
    — Evey Hammond, "V for Vendetta"


  • "Beneath this mask, there is an idea, Mr. Creedy and ideas are bulletproof."
    V.


  • William Shakespeare
    "My only love sprung from my only hate!

    William Shakespeare
