“At the end of the world the sunset is like a child smashing a pack of crayons into God’s face.”

“I want to avoid people, because there’s only one thing worse than being homeless, and that’s people who are not, knowing that you are.”
― The Squirrel that Dreamt of Madness

“Parents raise children then grow old, and their children forget the things their old parents did for them, because their brains don’t remember before they grew selfish.
There are buildings all over the world full of old people sitting around looking out of windows, full of hate for their selfish sons and daughters.
And meanwhile, the selfish sons and daughters look out of their windows at their children playing and think how wonderful their unbreakable bond of love is between them and their children.”

“You are put in school to be trained to become exactly what they want you to be: not them, anything but them. They live on a golden island and have the key to the only bridge. Your parents are not millionaires, so it doesn't matter how intelligent you are, you aren't invited to their party. That’s the great shame. The idiots have the gold, and the poor die to give it to them. So you better start to laugh, because this world is one big joke written by the few, at the expense of the masses. Look around you, that feeling your life isn't going anywhere? That’s the feeling that makes you part of the masses.”
― Deep In The Bin Of Bob
― Deep In The Bin Of Bob
“The days and the light feel like brief moments of torture, put here to remind us of what we don’t have any more. Joy is instantaneous, that, is the wonder of joy. Misery and suffering sneak up on someone like a bastard. They drip into your brain slowly, over time. Until one morning you wake up crying and you have no idea why.”
― Deep In The Bin Of Bob
― Deep In The Bin Of Bob
“If humans did not manufacture some of their own to appear like better people, people would not aspire to be someone else. They would stop dreaming. And if people didn't dream, they would be awake to discover the wonderful misery of being. There are no singular great people. There is only a small percentage of people manufactured to look significant, for the purpose of creating the feeling of mass insignificance.”
― Deep In The Bin Of Bob
― Deep In The Bin Of Bob
“There really is no time for wallowing in the miseries of life: we don’t have all the time in the world, we have all the world, and not enough time.”
― Deep In The Bin Of Bob
― Deep In The Bin Of Bob
“My landlord lives in the flat at the bottom of the stairs. I rent a studio flat from him, and live at the top of the staircase. There are two more flights of stairs and four more flats, but it’s me he is obsessed with.”

no worries! I've been typing too and my brain feels like it's looking at other people and wishing it was inside their heads because then it could at least have some days off. Pleasure to meet on goodreads K.E!
Have a great day :)
ha, well, friendly up to a point but I have you know I have squashed a mosquito. I just wanted to put it out there. We all have our pasts. lol.Any book I probably won't be able to read for a bit, but I am always up for finding new writers - I'm all ears (and a head, body, feet, eyes. Ah, heck. I'm way more than ears).
Thanks!
Julia wrote: "Body? Eyes? I'll take the eyes please....nad the body, feet and head. Thank you"okay, I will fedex my eyeballs out to you. Expect them sometime in the next 48hrs.
Julia wrote: "Thank you :) Be warned, when Im done with you, you'll just be a pile of bones but I promise to put the rest of you to good use. I try to be a good steward of people's things."I've dreamed of being a pile of dead bones ever since I was hit in the face by a walking stick when I was eleven.
Julia wrote: "That's a bit frightening. You have a good memory, I'll give you that much."it was easy to remember because it was just a walking stick. I mean, nobody was holding it.
Julia wrote: "Well, I am sorry for your traumatic experience. I hope you won't always be scarred. If you need me to sing you a lullaby and read you a story and kiss your injuries to make it all better, I will :)"aww. Thanks Julia. It was mainly mental scarring, so I will put my brain in the same package I am sending my eyes in. You can keep my eyes, but please kiss my brain and return it. Many thanks.
