If our wealth is criminal then let's live with the criminal joy of pirates Quotes

“So here it goes: get out there and fucking do something with your life, it's not too late. Have love affairs, protest the government and go to jail for it, get into fights, run for office, set fire to a police car or to an oil well, go to other countries and feed the poor, kill someone who deserves to die, save someone's life, take too many drugs, start a business or a band or a drug smuggling ring. For God's sakes, do something, anything, so you'll have something to write about other than your own pathetic life and your own pathetic reflections on how obviously unfair the world is.”
― Jacob Wren, If our wealth is criminal then let's live with the criminal joy of pirates

“If I’m the enemy then really let me have it. If moral outrage about the state of the world is consuming your life, paralyzing you, taking over your world, then set fire to the reader in an act of revenge. Instead you leave the reader, or this reader at least, indifferent, watching your ineffective life unravel ineffectually. If our wealth is criminal then let’s live with the criminal joy of pirates or fight to the death to bring a sliver more of justice into being. Not the passive slither forward you are attempting to pass off as literature.”
― Jacob Wren, If our wealth is criminal then let's live with the criminal joy of pirates
