Book cover for I Was Better Last Night: A Memoir
The guns are loaded, the knives still cut, and the adage “Time heals everything” makes a lovely lyric but is a fucking lie. Time heals nothing.

“If you're looking for sympathy you'll find it between shit and syphilis in the dictionary.”
David Sedaris, Barrel Fever: Stories and Essays

“...most art mistakes itself for the universal when it is momentary”
Sarah Emily Miano, Encyclopaedia Of Snow

Charlotte Brontë
“I am paving hell with energy... I am laying down good intentions which I believe durable as flint.”
Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

Josh Kilmer-Purcell
“...no matter how beneficial a disappearing act might be for me, I could never tear myself away from a show in progress. Even when the plot's tragic ending is apparent to the entire audience. Perhaps there's a deus ex machina that will lower from the ceiling and turn the whole debacle into a romantic comedy. never can tell. Paid the full ticket price, might as well stay.”
Josh Kilmer-Purcell, I Am Not Myself These Days

Jack London
“I would rather be ashes than dust!
I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot.
I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.
The function of man is to live, not to exist.
I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time.”
Jack London
