In order to be created, a work of art must first make use of the dark forces of the soul

Madness such as this, its like trying to stop a fire with the moisture from a kiss

Do not be surprised. I do not like writers and I cannot stand their lies. They speak so as not to listen to themselves speak. If they did listen, they would know that they are nothing and then they would no longer be able to speak.
