John Kennedy Toole
“Jail was preferable. There they only limited you physically. In a mental ward they tampered with your soul and worldview and mind.”
John Kennedy Toole

Lou Reed
“Stephanie says that she wants to know
Why she's given half her life,
to people she hates now”
Lou Reed

Charles Bukowski
“I kept telling myself that all the women in the world weren´t whores, just mine.”
Charles Bukowski, Factotum

Barry Hughart
“everybody knows that the soul of a cat is formed from the composite souls of nine debauched nuns who failed in their vows.”
Barry Hughart, Bridge of Birds

Lou Reed
“They say no one person can do it all
But you want to in your head
But you can't be Shakespeare and you can't be Joyce
So what is left instead

You're stuck with yourself and a rage that can hurt you
You have to start at the beginning again
And just this moment
This wonderful fire started up again

When you pass through humble, when you pass through sickly
When you pass through, I'm better than you all
When you pass through anger and self deprecation
And have the strength to acknowledge it all

When the past makes you laugh and you can savor the magic
That let you survive your own war
You find that that fire is passion
And there's a door up ahead, not a wall

- "Magic And Loss" The Summation
Lou Reed
