“Much of life, it seemed, was a search for the way to pinch oneself and be sure that the pinch itself is not contained in a dream.”
James Park Sloan, War Games

Hunter S. Thompson
“POLITICS IS THE ART OF CONTROLLING YOUR ENVIRONMENT"

This is one of the key things I learned in these years, and I learned it the hard way. Anybody who thinks "it doesn't matter who's President" has never been drafted and sent off to die in a vicious, stupid War on the other side of the World - or been beaten and gassed by Police for trespassing on private property - or been hounded by the IRS for purely political resasons - or locked up in the Cook County Jail with a broken nose and no phone access and twelve perverts waiting to stomp your ass in the shower. That is when it matters who is President or Governor or Police Chief. That is when you will wish you had voted.”
Hunter S. Thompson, Hey Rube: Blood Sport, the Bush Doctrine, and the Downward Spiral of Dumbness: Modern History from the ESPN.com Sports Desk

Nick Drake
“What will happen in the morning when the world it gets so crowded that you can't look out your window in the morning?
And what will happen in the evening in the forest with the weasel with the teeth that bite so sharp when you're not looking in the evening?
And all the friends that you once knew are left behind they kept you safe and so secure
amongst the books and all the records of your lifetime?
What will happen? In the morning? When the world gets so crowded that you can't look out your window in the morning?”
Nick Drake, Remembered for a While

Michael Farris Smith
“There was nothing new that could happen and he didn't understand why more people could not come to this realization. The same things are born and the same things die and the same river flows and the same fire burns. The same hearts break and the same fools rise. There was a gift in such knowledge and he allowed it to carry him without regard to provocation or concern for consequence as if he was only a chess piece being moved about the world.”
Michael Farris Smith, Lay Your Armor Down

Robertson Davies
“People are crazy for some sort of assurance that the visible world is not the only world, which is an almost intolerable state of mind.”
Robertson Davies
