Dani Reads Things

“People should fall in love with their eyes closed. Just close your eyes. Don't look.”
― Andy Warhol, The Philosophy of Andy Warhol

“People can speak to teapots and hear their answers as clearly as you are reading this now. We call them psychotics and give them drugs. People can speak to ghosts and hear their answers. We call them psychics and give them money. People can speak to gods and receive their message. We call them prophets and give them our souls. The social definition of who is speaking is more important than the message and until we know what ‘normal’ is how can we even grasp what is ‘paranormal’?”
― Leo Ruickbie, A Brief Guide to the Supernatural: Ghosts, Vampires and the Paranormal

“You will notice that I have not written about the horrors of prison life, or the conditions, hardships, treatment and so forth, because men reading this book who have been to jail will be bored to tears and people who haven't been to jail can bloody well come in here and find out for themselves.”
― Mark Brandon Read, From The Inside
