“I’m fearless as long as my eyes are open. It doesn’t matter if I belong here or if I never truly gel with humanity. I’m in this game because it’s rich and I’m not going to bed tonight because who knows how much longer I’ll have to spend these endless coins of enlightenment.”
Laurie Perez, The Look of Amie Martine

“We’re the ones who’ve chosen this role in life, to be taproots sucking on the juice of human consciousness.”
