Portrait of an Eye Quotes

“I'm sick of this society. "Earn a living" as if I'm not yet living; lobotomized and robotized from birth, they tell me I can't do anything I want to do in the subtlest and sneakiest ways possible. They want to erase all possible hints that I've been born. I have two centers: love and my desire to sleep.”
― Kathy Acker, Portrait of an Eye: Three Novels

“I have two main problems: (1) how to earn $200 to $300 per month to eat, pay, rent, without becoming a robot and with my clothes on (2) do what I want which is real, approaches reality. End of my life.)”
― Kathy Acker, Portrait of an Eye: Three Novels
