The way to love someone is to lightly run your finger over that person’s soul until you find a crack, and then gently pour your love into that crack.

You’ve gotta keep control of your time, and you can’t unless you say no. You can’t let people set your agenda in life.

My, like, all-time favorite quote. You’ve gotta try it all out and decide for yourself what the rules are.

Today was good. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one.

“When you vote for one of the factions in the imperial power bloc — Democrat or Republican — this is what you are supporting. You are empowering, enabling and associating yourself with an extremist regime that visits bin Laden-like terror on innocent people, day after day, night after night: killing them, traumatizing them, deranging their lives, destroying their families, their hopes and dreams. This is what you are voting for, you stalwart Tea Party patriots. This is what you are voting for, you earnest humanitarian progressives. This and nothing else but this: terror, murder, fear and ruin, in a never-ending, self-perpetuating, all-devouring cycle.”
I believe the only thing more boring than seeing a photorealistic painting is making one.

You must not fear, hold back, count or be a miser with your thoughts and feelings. It is also true that creation comes from an overflow, so you have to learn to intake, to imbibe, to nourish yourself and not be afraid of fullness. The fullness is like a tidal wave which then carries you, sweeps you into experience and into writing. Permit yourself to flow and overflow, allow for the rise in temperature, all the expansions and intensifications. Something is always born of excess: great art was born of great terrors, great loneliness, great inhibitions, instabilities, and it always balances them. If it seems to you that I move in a world of certitudes, you, par contre, must benefit from the great privilege of youth, which is that you move in a world of mysteries.

In this page from a zine I made, I chose to combine all my current obsessions! Clouds/smoke! Drawing comely gentlemen! SKULLS! QUOTES! It’s madness.
Nothing is original! From a zine I made after a quote I read! This one reminds me of Ghostbusters.
