Frank Zappa
“So many books, so little time.”
Frank Zappa

William S. Burroughs
“Language is a virus from outer space”
William S. Burroughs

Charles Bukowski
“We are
Born like this
Into this
Into these carefully mad wars
Into the sight of broken factory windows of emptiness
Into bars where people no longer speak to each other
Into fist fights that end as shootings and knifings
Born into this
Into hospitals which are so expensive that it’s cheaper to die
Into lawyers who charge so much it’s cheaper to plead guilty
Into a country where the jails are full and the madhouses closed
Into a place where the masses elevate fools into rich heroes”
Charles Bukowski

John Hawkes
“I began to write fiction on the assumption that the true enemies of the novel were plot, character, setting and theme.”
John Hawkes

I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.
“I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.”
