“Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead.”
― Charles Bukowski

“I once found a phoenix
charred in its own ashes. I
brought it home with
me, wept through the night,
and then tossed it to
the wind--its brittle body
dispersing all about.

This thing without
a name and deep within
me--how it truly believes
that if something is meant
to take flight, then it
must one way or another.”
― J. Andrew Schrecker, Insomniacs, We

“There's a lot of humiliation in
living, but that's okay, for if
the gods are always laughing,
then surely at times they must
be laughing with us.”
― J. Andrew Schrecker, Insomniacs, We

“And yes, life is
mostly boring, and
we each go through it
feeling ugly or like
a failure, but sometimes
the sun cuts through
a tree line just right, or
you get to hold
someone's hand for
the first time.”
― J. Andrew Schrecker, Insomniacs, We
