Henry Miller
“What holds the world together, as I have learned from bitter experience, is sexual intercourse.”
Henry Miller

George Carlin
“I figured out years ago that the human species is totally fucked and has been for a long time. I also know that the sick, media-consumer culture in America continues to make this so-called problem worse. But the trick, folks, is not to give a fuck. Like me. I really don't
care. I stopped worrying about all this temporal bullshit a long time ago. It's meaningless. ”
George Carlin

Plato
“The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.”
Plato

Henry Miller
“A man should begin with his own times. He should become acquainted first of all with the world in which he is living and participating. He should not be afraid of reading too much or too little. He should take his reading as he does his food or his exercise. The good reader will gravitate to the good books. He will discover from his contemporaries what is inspiring or fecundating, or merely enjoyable, in past literature. He should have the pleasure of making these discoveries on his own, in his own way. What has worth, charm, beauty, wisdom, cannot be lost or forgotten. But things can lose all value, all charm and appeal, if one is dragged to them by the scalp.”
Henry Miller

Jean-Luc Godard

CAUTION: I refuse to become what you call "normal."

...

ALPHA-60: You cannot escape. The door is locked.

CAUTION: Try to stop me, pal.”
Jean-Luc Godard, Alphaville
