“I do not understand people who will lustily throw $40,000 at the shiny red automobile of their choice, but well up with tears and become outraged when they are asked to pay $5 for a damaged videotape. Either they are fucked up and their priorities are fucked up or I am fucked up and my priorities are fucked up. Because I am me, I think it is them.”
Don Borchert, Free for All: Oddballs, Geeks, and Gangstas in the Public Library

Lemony Snicket, Horseradish: Bitter Truths You Can't Avoid

David Eddings, King of the Murgos
