...and he just sat back and stared at the tube, almost interested in what was happening, trying to find the ability to believe in that lie so he could believe the one within.
Hubert Selby, Jr.But I knew that someday I was going to die. And just before I died two things would happen; Number 1: I would regret my entire life. Number 2: I would want to live my life over again.
Hubert Selby, Jr.Sometimes it seems to stand still. Like youโre in a bag and you canโt get out and somebodyโs always telling you that it will get better with time and time just seems to stand still and laugh at you and your pain.
Hubert Selby, Jr.Being an artist doesnโt take much, just everything you got. Which means, of course, that as the process is giving you life, it is also bringing you closer to death. But itโs no big deal. They are one in the same and cannot be avoided or denied. So when I totally embrace this process, this life/death, and abandon myself to it, I transcend all this meaningless gibberish and hang out with the gods. It seems to me that that is worth the price of admission.
