“I began writing about power because I had so little.”
― Octavia E. Butler

“William Burroughs was simultaneously old and young. Part sheriff, part gumshoe. All writer. He had a medicine chest he kept locked, but if you were in pain he would open it. He did not like to see his loved ones suffer. If you were infirm he would feed you. He’d appear at your door with a fish wrapped in newsprint and fry it up. He was inaccessible to a girl but I loved him anyway.”
― Patti Smith, Just Kids

“Do me a favor this morning. Draw the curtain and come back to bed.
Forget the coffee. We’ll pretend
we’re in a foreign country, and in love.”
― Raymond Carver

“There is something in you I like more than yourself. Therefore I must destroy you”
― Jacques Lacan
