About Me

my mind is
a big hunk of irrevocable nothing which touch and
taste and smell and hearing and sight keep hitting and
chipping with sharp fatal tools
in an agony of sensual chisels I perform squirms of
chrome and execute strides of cobalt
nevertheless i
feel that I cleverly am being altered that I slightly am
becoming something a little different, in fact
myself
Hereupon helpless I utter lilac shrieks and scarlet
bellowings.

-e.e. cummings, Portraits, VII

"'tis better to be silent and thought a fool than to open ones mouth and remove all doubt"

"vivent chaque jour comme si il étaient votre durent"

"The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he did not exist."
