Poetry is what happens when nothing else can.

The apartment was built at the edge of a high cliff so that when you looked out the back window it seemed as if you were twelve floors up instead of four. It was very much like living on the edge of the world - a last resting place before the final big drop.

my beerdrunk soul is sadder than all the dead christmas trees of the world.

When you drank the world was still out there, but for the moment it didn’t have you by the throat.

No matter how little a man has he will find that he will always settle for less.

If I bet on humanity, I'd never cash a ticket.

My heart is a thousand years old. I am not like other people.
