Lester Bangs
“The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what you share with someone else when you're uncool.”
Lester Bangs

Lester Bangs
“I'll probably never produce a masterpiece, but so what? I feel I have a Sound aborning, which is my own, and that Sound if erratic is still my greatest pride, because I would rather write like a dancer shaking my ass to boogaloo inside my head, and perhaps reach only readers who like to use books to shake their asses, than to be or write for the man cloistered in a closet somewhere reading Aeschylus while this stupefying world careens crazily past his waxy windows toward its last raving sooty feedback pirouette. ”
Lester Bangs, Main Lines, Blood Feasts, and Bad Taste: A Lester Bangs Reader

Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Every spirit builds itself a house; and beyond its house a world; and beyond its world, a heaven. Know then, that the world exists for you. For you is the phenomenon perfect. What we are, that only can we see. All that Adam had, all that Caesar could, you have and can do. Adam called his house, heaven and earth; Caesar called his house, Rome; you perhaps call yours, a cobler's trade; a hundred acres of ploughed land; or a scholar's garret. Yet line for line and point for point, your dominion is as great as theirs, though without fine names. Build, therefore, your own world.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nature

Raymond Chandler
“I don't mind your showing me your legs. They're very swell legs and it's a pleasure to make their acquaintace. I don't mind if you don't like my manners. They're pretty bad. I grieve over them during the long winter nights.”
Raymond Chandler, The Big Sleep

Augustine of Hippo
“Da mihi castitatem et continentiam, sed noli modo (Give me chastity and continence, but not just yet)!”
Augustine of Hippo, Confessions
