I have a face like a washrag. I sing love songs and carry steel. I would rather die than cry. I can't stand hounds can't live without them. I hang my head against the white refrigerator and want to scream like the last weeping of life forever but I am bigger than the mountains.

It was better for me when I could imagine greatness in others, even if it wasn't always there.

there are so many days when living stops and pulls up and sits and waits like a train on the rails.

I was so thin I could slice bread with my shoulderblades, only I seldom had bread.

I've learned to feel good when I feel good. it's better to be driven around in a red porsche than to own one. the luck of the fool is inviolate.

New Year's Eve always terrifies me.

the masses are everywhere they know how to do things: they have sane and deadly angers for sane and deadly things.
