Book cover for Foundation (Foundation, #1)
It was a tall man that eventually entered, a man whose face seemed all vertical lines and so thin that one could wonder whether there was room for a smile.

Dennis Cooper
“When I started writing
I was a sick teenaged
fuck inside who partly
thought I was the new
Marquis de Sade, a body
doomed to communicate
with Satan who was us-
ing my sickness as his
home away from home,
and there’s your proof.”
― Dennis Cooper

Lord Byron
“And this the world calls frenzy; but the wise
Have a far deeper madness, and the glance
Of melancholy is a fearful gift;
What is it but the telescope of truth?
Which strips the distance of its fantasies,
And brings life near in utter nakedness,
Making the cold reality too real!”
― George Gordon Byron

Karl Ove Knausgård
“For the heart, life is simple: it beats for as long as it can. Then it stops.”
― Karl Ove Knausgård, Min kamp 1

Dennis Cooper
“Emotional. Out of his mind grateful. Anything goes. I love you, I love you, I love you.”
― Dennis Cooper, Period

Sjón
“Only those who have learnt the tongue of angels can tell how one’s name will sound in the language of light.”
― Sjón
