“Come, God --
Bromius, Bacchus, Dionysus --
burst into life, burst

a hundred-headed snake,
a fire-breathing lion.
Burst into smiling life, oh Bacchus!”

“Music has always been a matter of Energy to me, a question of Fuel. Sentimental people call it Inspiration, but what they really mean is Fuel. I have always needed Fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio.”
― Hunter S. Thompson

“…he who seeks to deceive will always find someone who will allow himself to be deceived.”
