“I'm sure we're taller in another dimension. You say we're small and not worth the mention”
Frank Ocean, Frank Ocean - Blond

Edward St. Aubyn
“Every paradise demands a serpent.”
Edward St. Aubyn, At Last

Quentin Tarantino
“Also, it’s a little odd to assume all your patrons are thieves.”
Quentin Tarantino, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

John O'Hara
“He stood at the table, looking down at the handkerchief case and stud box, and was afraid. Upstairs was a girl who was a person. That he loved her seemed unimportant compared to what she was. He only loved her, which really made him a lot less than a friend or an acquaintance. Other people saw her and talked to her when she was herself, her great, important self. It was wrong, this idea that you know someone better because you have shared a bed and a bathroom with her. He knew, and not another human being knew, that she cried “I” or “high” in moments of great ecstasy. He knew, he alone knew her when she let herself go, when she herself was not sure whether she was wildly gay or wildly sad, but one and the other. But that did not mean that he knew her. Far from it. It only meant that he was closer to her when he was close, but (and this was the first time the thought had come to him) maybe farther away than anyone else when he was not close. It certainly looked that way now.”
John O'Hara, Appointment in Samarra

Mark Oliver Everett
“I think about how angry I was that my dad didn't take better care of himself. How he never went to the doctor, let himself become grossly overweight, smoked three packs a day, drank like a fish and never exercised. But then I think about how his colleague mentioned that, days before dying, my dad had said that he had lived a good life and that he was satisfied. I realize that there is a certain value in my father's way of life. He ate, smoked and drank as he pleased, and one day he just suddenly and quickly died. Given some of the other choices I'd witnessed, it turns out that enjoying yourself and then dying quickly is not such a bad way to go.”
Mark Oliver Everett, Things The Grandchildren Should Know
