"My women have always said, 'You're so negative!' and I've looked at them and replied, 'I find reality negative.' Compared to what? Unreality. Yet for all that I have had more joy than any of them, they were positive and depressed, and I am negative and happy."
-Charles Bukowski
"Imagination is the politics of dreams; imagination turns every word into a bottle rocket."

"I am not like the gods - I feel it deeply now.
I am the worm that burrows in the dust
and, seeking sustenance in the dust,
is crushed and buried by a wanderer's heel."
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
