R.D. Laing
“The condition of alienation, of being asleep, of being unconscious, of being out of one’s mind, is the condition of the normal man. Society highly values its normal man. It educates children to lose themselves and to become absurd, and thus to be normal. Normal men have killed perhaps 100,000,000 of their fellow normal men in the last fifty years.”
R.D. Laing, The Politics of Experience/The Bird of Paradise

Henry Miller
“The world is a cancer eating itself away... I am think that when the great silence descends upon all and everywhere music will at last triumph. When into the womb of time everything is again withdrawn chaos will be restored and chaos is the score upon which reality is written.”
Henry Miller, Tropic of Cancer

Miles Davis
“Philly Joe was a bitch. If he'd been a lawyer and white, he would have been president of the United States, because in order to get there you gotta talk fast and carry a lot of bullshit with you; Philly had it all and a lot to spare.”
Miles Davis, Miles: The Autobiography

Henry Miller
“For a hundred years or more the world, our world, has been dying. And not one man, in these last hundred years or so, has been crazy enough to put a bomb up the asshole of creation and set it off.”
Henry Miller, Tropic of Cancer

Hélène Cixous
“Love is when you suddenly wake up as a cannibal, and not just any old cannibal, or else wake up destined for devourment.”
Hélène Cixous, Stigmata: Escaping Texts
