About Me

I don't want to live -- I want to love first, and live incidentally.

~Zelda Fitzgerald

It is not my mode of thought that has caused my misfortunes, but the mode of thought of others.

~Marquis de Sade

Unshelved

a library comic by Bill Barnes & Gene Ambaum

This is how it works
You're young until you're not
You love until you don't
You try until you can't
You laugh until you cry
You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe
Until their dying breath

~Regina Spektor

Whatever you do, do not click here!


It is no measure of good health to be well adjusted to a sick society.

~Krishnamurti

i believe people and products both need less packaging
cause bullshit is still bullshit when you pull off all the wrapping.
i believe people are see-through
if you hold em up to the light
i believe people are enlightening
if you plug em in right.

~Alix Olson
