    Hunter S. Thompson
    “We are all alone, born alone, die alone, and—in spite of True Romance magazines—we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely—at least, not all the time—but essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don't see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness.”
    ― Hunter S. Thompson, The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman, 1955-1967

    Rupi Kaur
    “apparently it is ungraceful of me
    to mention my period in public
    cause the actual biology
    of my body is too real

    it is okay to sell what's
    between a woman's legs
    more than it is okay to
    mention its inner workings

    the recreational use of
    this body is seen as
    beautiful while
    its nature is
    seen as ugly”
