“Your daily war chant: ( screaming it is mandatory! )
Ooooooooh today, today I will see,
what a happy place the world can be!
I will make someone smile,
refuse to being vile!
I will share what I love,
take someone high above,
in the sky, between the clouds
with joyful shouts!

Today, today even you will see,
What a happy place the world can be!
Make it happen, enjoy your day,
Remember it is a temporary stay,
here on earth, this single hour,
today I give my love a flower!

YEAAAAAH! Today I kick life’s behind,
making good what is unkind!
Making smile who is not grinning!
And this is only the beginning!
Today.I.am. AAAAAAALIVEE!”
Janosch Fingerhut

“I think fiction lends itself to messiness rather than the ideal, and plays well with the ironies surrounding what happens versus what should happen. And yes, I suppose I was interested in that story in the gap between memory itself, the real business of being alive, and the imagination.”
Colm Tóibín

“He had everything a dream boy should have. Back, front, sides, Everything. A head.”

George Balanchine
“I like to do things certain ways and I disagree with everybody but I don't even want to argue.”
George Balanchine

Louise Rennison
“All boys are swines. They snog you and dump you. Or lick your face. Or put bats in your mouth.”
Louise Rennison, A Midsummer Tights Dream
