    “Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead.”
    Charles Bukowski

    Nora Ephron
    “Reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real.”
    Nora Ephron

    Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
    “Artists use frauds to make human beings seem more wonderful than they really are. Dancers show us human beings who move much more gracefully than human beings really move. Films and books and plays show us people talking much more entertainingly than people really talk, make paltry human enterprises seem important. Singers and musicians show us human beings making sounds far more lovely than human beings really make. Architects give us temples in which something marvelous is obviously going on. Actually, practically nothing is going on.”
    Kurt Vonnegut, Wampeters, Foma and Granfalloons

    Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy

    Paul Auster, The Brooklyn Follies

    Robertson Davies

    “I am a creature of the Fey
    Prepare to give your soul away
    My spell is passion and it is art
    My song can bind a human heart
    And if you chance to know my face
    My hold shall be your last embrace.

    I shall be thy lover...

    I am unlike a mortal lass
    From dreams of longing I have passed
    I came upon your lonely cries
    Revealed beauty to your eyes
    So shun the world that you have known
    And spend your nights within my own.

    I shall be thy lover...

    You shall be known by other men
    For your great works of voice and pen
    Yet inspiration has a cost
    For with me know your soul is lost
    I'll take your passion and your skill
    I'll take your young life quicker still.

    I shall be thy lover...

    Through the kisses that I give
    I draw from you that I will live
    And though you think this weakness grand
    The touch of death your lover's hand
    Your will to live has come too late
    Come to my arms and love this fate

    I shall be thy lover...

    I am a creature of the Fey
    Prepare to give your soul away
    My spell is passion and it is art
    My song can bind a human heart
    And if you chance to know my face
    My hold shall be your last embrace.”
    Heather Alexander

    Charles Bukowski
    “That's the problem with drinking, I thought, as I poured myself a drink. If something bad happens you drink in an attempt to forget; if something good happens you drink in order to celebrate; and if nothing happens you drink to make something happen.”
    Charles Bukowski, Women

  • #17
    G.K. Chesterton
    “Drink because you are happy, but never because you are miserable.”
    G.K. Chesterton, Heretics: The Annotated

  • #18
    Bill Hicks
    “If you want to understand a society, take a good look at the drugs it uses. And what can this tell you about American culture? Well, look at the drugs we use. Except for pharmaceutical poison, there are essentially only two drugs that Western civilization tolerates: Caffeine from Monday to Friday to energize you enough to make you a productive member of society, and alcohol from Friday to Monday to keep you too stupid to figure out the prison that you are living in.”
    Bill Hicks

    Jasmine Sandozz
    “She is unapologetic
    She is wild with her heart
    She is free
    She is art
    Though some can't figure her out
    She's an incredible mess
    That's just how she likes it.”
    Jasmine Sandozz

    Jack Kerouac
    “[...]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

    Robert D. Hare
    “Most therapy programs do little more than provide psychopaths with new excuses and rationalizations for their behavior and new insights into human vulnerability. They may learn new and better ways of manipulating other people.”
    Robert D. Hare, Without Conscience: The Disturbing World of the Psychopaths Among Us

  • #22
    Robert D. Hare
    “Psychopaths have a narcissistic and grossly inflated view of their self-worth and importance, a truly astounding egocentricity and sense of entitlement, and see themselves as the center of the universe, as superior beings who are justified in living according to their own rules.”
    Robert D. Hare, Without Conscience: The Disturbing World of the Psychopaths Among Us

  • #23
    Robert D. Hare
    “Psychopaths often come across as arrogant, shameless braggarts—self-assured, opinionated, domineering, and cocky. They love to have power and control over others and seem unable to believe that other people have valid opinions different from theirs. They appear charismatic or “electrifying” to some people.”
    Robert D. Hare, Without Conscience: The Disturbing World of the Psychopaths Among Us

    Karen Marie Moning
    “Some people bring out the worst in you, others bring out the best, and then there are those remarkably rare, addictive ones who just bring out the most. Of everything.
    They make you feel so alive that you'd follow them straight into hell, just to keep getting your fix.”
    Karen Marie Moning, Shadowfever

    Michelle Lee

    Chuck Palahniuk, Diary

  • #30
    Franz Kafka
    “I never wish to be easily defined. I’d rather float over other people’s minds as something strictly fluid and non-perceivable; more like a transparent, paradoxically iridescent creature rather than an actual person.”
    Franz Kafka
