Charles Bukowski
“Understand me. I’m not like an ordinary world. I have my madness, I live in another dimension and I do not have time for things that have no soul.”
Charles Bukowski

Ernest Hemingway
“The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.”
Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms

Brian Eno
“Stop thinking about art works as objects and start thinking about them as triggers for experiences. What makes a work of art good for you is not something that s already inside it but something that happens inside you.”
Brian Eno

Susan Sontag
“In place of a hermeneutics we need an erotics of art.”
Susan Sontag, Against Interpretation and Other Essays

Cormac McCarthy
“Suttree among others, sad children of the fates whose home is the world, all gathered here a little while to forestall the going there.”
Cormac McCarthy, Suttree
