“The mausoleum of the unworthy. At the
end of the day, aren’t they all? Through the history of time, murderers, rapists, thieves, and
crooks all given a legacy they never deserved.”
Ben C. Davies, And So I Took Their Eye

“My ambition is handicapped by laziness”
Charles Bukowski, Factotum

“An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way. An artist says a hard thing in a simple way.”
Charles Bukowski

“[...]the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes “Awww!”
Jack Kerouac, On the Road

“Live, travel, adventure, bless, and don't be sorry.”
Jack Kerouac

“The only truth is music.”
Jack Kerouac
