Dalton Trumbo
“Hickory dickory dock my daddy’s nuts from shellshock.”
Dalton Trumbo, Johnny Got His Gun

Euripides
“Fortune truly helps those who are of good judgement.”
Euripides

William S. Burroughs
“God save the Queen and a fascist regime … a flabby toothless fascism, to be sure. Never go too far in any direction, is the basic law on which Limey-Land is built. The Queen stabilizes the whole sinking shithouse and keeps a small elite of wealth and privilege on top. The English have gone soft in the outhouse. England is like some stricken beast too stupid to know it is dead. Ingloriously foundering in its own waste products, the backlash and bad karma of empire”
William S. Burroughs, The Place of Dead Roads

Stendhal
“A good book is an event in my life.”
Stendhal, The Red and the Black

Author Harold Phifer
“Out of nowhere, one of the twins grabbed my cap while the other delivered a blow to my head. She slapped the taste right out of my mouth. I couldn’t even feel my tongue. I spun around to face my bullies. The twins had become triplets. I couldn’t remember ever trying to drink three glasses of anything and this wouldn’t be the day to try.”
Harold Phifer, Surviving Chaos: How I Found Peace at A Beach Bar
