“One day she yelled, "You're always naked except for that bunch of skulls around your neck. In which maggots're living. That you never take off. And you're odoriferous. In a bad way. You think that death's sexy, that's why you stink most of the time; of rot and foul, fetid fur, but you smell worst when you're about to come.”
― Kathy Acker, Pussy, King of the Pirates

“XIV
Solo con la belleza me conformo
La fealdad me produce dolor

I go along only with beauty
Ugliness hurts me.”
― Nicanor Parra, Emergency poems

“Humans are born, they live, then they die, this is the order that the gods have decreed. But until the end comes, enjoy your life, spend it in happiness, not despair. Savor your food, make each of your days a delight, bathe and anoint yourself, wear bright clothes that are sparkling clean, let music and dancing fill your house, love the child who holds you by the hand, and give your wife pleasure in your embrace. That is the best way for a man to live.”
― Anonymous, Gilgamesh
