The Pretty Flower, Rose

Once upon a time there was a pretty red rose that stood tall in the garden for everyone to see.

“You’re so pretty and magnificent, Rose,” the passers-by would say, “But why do you cry?”
“Because my father doesn’t see me,’ she replied. “He doesn’t tell me how pretty I am.”

And so, as sad as she was, the pretty Rose grew taller. Tall enough for the whole city to see

And everyday, the whole city stopped Read more of this blog post »

"By far one of the strangest books I've ever read. It was a pretty good read tho, kept me hooked. There were some eerie parts that resembled actually history in some ways that shocked me too. "

“Self-help and those stupid proverbs, they do nothing. Soul food? It’s like trying to cure starvation with a sugar cube. It might taste sweet on the lips but once it dissolves, the emptiness is still there.”
― C.SeanMcGee, Dark Side of the Moon

“What's the point in being smart enough to read, if everything you read makes you dumb?"

- Fatts - Coffee and Sugar”
― C. Sean McGee, Coffee and Sugar

“Infants never learn to soothe themselves to sleep. They learn, abandoned in seclusion, that no matter the volume of their despondence, no matter the force of their tears, when they are alone and frightened, no-one will ever come to their rescue. Infants do not soothe themselves. They merely surrender. And it is caged in their cribs where the infants learn, in the face of their demons, to remain silent and submitting.”
― C.SeanMcGee, Alex and The Gruff

“I don´t love you. I love myseçf when I am with you”
― C. Sean McGee, A Rising Fall

“A shit on a plate is just a shit on a plate. It’s foul. It’s rank. It’s rancid. It’s disgusting. Until I tell you it’s art, that is. Then it’s authentic, bold, evocative, challenging, and abstruse,” he exclaimed. “Art is what I say it is, and when I say it. Until then, it’s just a shit on a plate. It’s how these wretched drug addicts, indigents, and sycophants pass their time. It’s the plank of rotting wood they cling to as they drift aimlessly through an ocean of misery and woe. It’s what keeps them from killing themselves until eventually, swollen with rejection and failure, it becomes the reason they do.”
― C. Sean McGee, eN

“Your cunt belongs to the kingdom."
"My cunt is mine. It is my kingdom.”

“The absence of God is as divine as God itself."
