"Somewhere, someone isn't impressed by your looks. Not all men jump through the hoops of your fire. You're unbelievably boring to more people than you'll ever know."
Black Coffee Blues
Nay, do not grieve tho' life be full of sadness,
Dawn will not veil her spleandor for your grief,
Nor spring deny their bright, appointed beauty
To lotus blossom and ashoka leaf.
Nay, do not pine, tho' life be dark with trouble,
Time will not pause or tarry on his way;
To-day that seems so long, so strange, so bitter,
Will soon be some forgotten yesterday.
Nay, do not weep; new hopes, new dreams, new faces,
The unspent joy of all the unborn years,
Will prove your heart a traitor to its sorrow,
And make your eyes unfaithful to their tears.

"And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth
beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his
name that sat on him was Death. and Hell followed with him." (Rev. 6:7-8).
"I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me."
“There is nothing more helpless and irresponsible than a man in the depths of an ether binge.†Hunter S Thompson
Corinthians 13.1
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I am nothing, I am nothing.
"It's always funny until someone gets hurt. Then it's just hilarious." Bill Hicks
“And your very flesh shall be a great poem.†Walt Whitman
"History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it.." Sir Winston Churchill.
"There's nothing nice in my head
The adult world took it all away" Richey Edwards
"I've got a sick reputation for handling broads" Mr P Pablo
"If I could kiss you now,
Oh, I'd kiss you now, again and again.
Till I don't know where I begin,
and where you end." Moby
"I promise, that one day, everything's going to be better for you." Donnie Darko
"I love how it's a living thing. I like to think about what was going on the year it was growing; how the sun was shining; if it rained. I like to think about all the people who tended to it. And if it's old, how many of them must be dead by now. I like how it continues to evolve, like if I opened a bottle today it would taste different than if I'd opened it on any other day, because it is actually alive. And it's constantly evolving and gaining complexity. That is, until it peaks, And then it begins its steady, inevitable decline. Just like every living thing." Sideways
"We gotta get out of here.... this is bat country." Hunter S Thompson
"All the subtle flavours of my life
are become bitter seeds
and poisoned leaves
without you,
You represent what's true,
I drain the colour from the sky
And turn blue,
without you" Faithless
"You pass this way but once. There's no such thing as normal. There's you and there is the rest. There's now and there's forever. Do as you dam well please or you could end up being a pot-bellied, boring hairless fart." Billy Connolly
"There are times, however, and this is one of them, when even being right feels wrong. What do you say, for instance, about a generation that has been taught that rain is poison and sex is death? If making love might be fatal and if a cool spring breeze on any summer afternoon can turn a crystal blue lake into a puddle of black poison right in front of your eyes, there is not much left except TV and relentless masturbation. It's a strange world. Some people get rich and others eat shit and die." Hunter S Thompson
"I left in love, in laughter, and in truth and wherever truth, love and laughter abide, I am there." Bill Hicks
"People like me break things.." Kurt Cobain
"It is all well and good for children and acid freaks to still believe in Santa Claus — but it is still a profoundly morbid day for us working professionals. It is unsettling to know that one out of every twenty people you meet on Xmas will be dead this time next year... Some people can accept this, and some can't." Hunter S Thompson.
"Getting there was the most exciting thing I have ever done. Staying there, probably the most boring." Marco Pierre White
"I don't believe in fate or destiny. I believe in various degrees of hatred, paranoia, and abandonment. However much of that gets heaped upon you doesn't matter - it's only a matter of how much you can take and what it does to you." Henry Rollins
"Everything will be okay in the end. If its not okay, its not the end...." Tomas
