Osama Siddique
“We all need colors to fill the blank spaces within the faint and drab outlines of our all-too-short lives.”
Osama Siddique, Snuffing out the Moon

Jean-Luc Godard
“Cinema is capitalism in its purest form.... There is only one solution — turn one’s back on American cinema.”
Jean-Luc Godard

Edward Albee
“HONEY: (Apologetically, holding up her brandy bottle) I peel labels.
GEORGE: We all peel labels, sweetie; and when you get through the skin, all three layers, through the muscle, slosh aside the organs (An aside to NICK) them which is still sloshable--(Back to HONEY) and get down to bone...you know what you do then?
HONEY: (Terribly interested) No!
GEORGE: When you get down to bone, you haven't got all the way, yet. There's something inside the bone...the marrow...and that's what you gotta get at. (A strange smile at MARTHA)”
Edward Albee, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

John Ciardi
“Translator's Note: When the violin repeats what the piano has just played, it cannot make the same sounds and it can only approximate the same chords. It can, however, make recognizably the same "music", the same air. But it can do so only when it is as faithful to the self-logic of the violin as it is to the self-logic of the piano.”
John Ciardi, Inferno

Rollo May
“I think Dostoevsky was right, that every human being must have a point at which he stands against the culture, where he says, this is me and the damned world can go to hell.”
Rollo May
