“Two tears in a bucket. Motherfuck it.”
― John Berendt, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil

“when god lets my body be

From each brave eye shall sprout a tree
fruit that dangles therefrom

the purpled world will dance upon
Between my lips which did sing

a rose shall beget the spring
that maidens whom passion wastes

will lay between their little breasts
My strong fingers beneath the snow

Into strenuous birds shall go
my love walking in the grass

their wings will touch with her face
and all the while shall my heart be

With the bulge and nuzzle of the sea”
― E.E. Cummings, 100 Selected Poems

“Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. Second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience.”
― Oscar Wilde

“something has been said for sobriety but very little.”
― John Berryman
