“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”
― William S. Burroughs

“You must always be yourself, no matter what the price. It is the highest form of morality.”
― Candy Darling, Candy Darling: Memoirs of an Andy Warhol Superstar

“I have a theory that the truth is never told during the nine-to-five hours.”
