Favourite quotes:-
"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." Anais Nin
"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn burn burn like fabulous yellow candles exploding like spiders across the stars" JACK KEROUAC
"Real Life? You couldnt handle Real Life!" Neil Gaiman/Mirror Mask
"Shes so swishy in her satin and tat. In her frock coat and bipperty-bopperty hat Oh God I could do better than that"
-"QUEEN BITCH DAVID BOWIE"
"Beauty is an ecstacy it is as simple as breathing"
-SOMERSET MAUGHAM
All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream
-EDGAR ALLAN POE ..
