“Ci sono notti
che non accadono mai
e tu le cerchi
muovendo le labbra.
Poi t’immagini seduto
al posto degli dèi.
E non sai dire
dove stia il sacrilegio:
se nel ripudio
dell’età adulta
che nulla perdona
o nella brama
d’essere immortale
per vivere infinite
attese di notti
che non accadono mai.”
― Alda Merini, Fiore di poesia

“If you are bored and disgusted by politics and don't bother to vote, you are in effect voting for the entrenched Establishments of the two major parties, who please rest assured are not dumb, and who are keenly aware that it is in their interests to keep you disgusted and bored and cynical and to give you every possible reason to stay at home doing one-hitters and watching MTV on primary day. By all means stay home if you want, but don't bullshit yourself that you're not voting. In reality, there is no such thing as not voting: you either vote by voting, or you vote by staying home and tacitly doubling the value of some Diehard's vote.”
― David Foster Wallace, Up, Simbal!: 7 Days on the Trail of an Anticandidate

“Follow your inner moonlight; don't hide the madness.”
― Allen Ginsberg
