Fear is a healthy instinct, not a sign of weakness. It is a natural self-defense mechanism that is common to felines, wolves, hyenas, and most humans. Even fruit bats know fear, and I salute them for it. If you think the world is weird now, imagine how weird it would be if wild beasts had no fear.

I need beaches, and blackness, and moonlit nakedness.

Every deadline was a crisis … No doubt it has something to do with a deep-seated personality defect, or maybe a kink in whatever blood vessel leads into the pineal gland … On the other hand, it might easily be something as simple and basically perverse as whatever instinct it is that causes a jackrabbit to wait until the last possible second to dart across the road in front of a speeding car.

Have an objective to give your bender a theme. For instance, stalking and killing a wild pig with a bowie knife.

I would feel real trapped in this life if I didn't know I could commit suicide at any time.

The mind & body must be subjected to extreme stimulus, by means of drugs & music.
