“Visions are worth fighting for. Why spend your life making someone else's dreams?”
Tim Burton

Milan Kundera
“But when the strong were too weak to hurt the weak, the weak had to be strong enough to leave.”
Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

Henry Miller
“I found that what I had desired all my life was not to live - if what others are doing is called living - but to express myself.”
Henry Miller, Tropic of Capricorn

Henry Miller
“I wanted a metamorphosis, a change to fish, to leviathan, to destroyer. I wanted the earth to open up, to swallow everything in one engulfing yawn. I wanted to see the city buried fathoms deep in the bosom of the sea. I wanted to sit in a cave and read by candlelight. I wanted that eye extinguished so that I might have a chance to know my own body, my own desires. I wanted to be alone for a thousand years in order to reflect on what I had seen and heard - and in order to forget.”
Henry Miller, Tropic of Capricorn

Henry Miller
“Things happen or they don't happen, that's all. Nothing is accomplished by sweat and struggle. Nearly everything which we call life is just insomnia, an agony because we've lost the habit of falling asleep. We don't know how to let go. We're like a Jack-in-the-box perched on top of a spring and the more we struggle the harder it is to get back in the box.”
Henry Miller, Tropic of Capricorn
