“I like to judge people and it was clear to me that Colin’s life has been about as exciting as a cluster headache. You can tell this just from his humour tumour which runs through every conversation you have with him. I got the impression that Colin had arrived at his early fifties resenting the fact that he’s spent his entire career worshiping at the altar of Dynasty PLC. But he is now so indoctrinated by the world of corporate banking that he’s forgotten how to express the real him.

This is what a life working for large corporations does to people. The workplace is a place not to be you; it’s a place to be the corporate you. The you that doesn’t really exist. We all see this corporate you and pretend that it’s a normal part of life. But we know that something isn’t quite right. We know that the real you is slowly fading away like old wallpaper. The corporate you is a myth; just like Icarus. And yet we are powerless against it. All of us are powerless against the wrath of the corporate world.”
― Rupert Dreyfus, Spark

― Jamie Arpin-Ricci

“But if Sade's work is to be summed up in one word, this word would not be 'sexual' or 'comic' or even 'sadistic', it would be 'transgressive'. As it systematically transgresses all sexual, social, religious and moral norms, his writing repeatedly and earnestly insists on the exquisite pleasure to be derived from this transgression.”
― John Phillips, SADE

from getting smart-raped”

for being good lil' nightmares;

I buried alive all my double-dares”
