I live in constant fear of being fired or dropped for that dark part of my work I can't control.

something can only become an illusion after disillusionment. before that, it is something real. what caused the disillusionment? no one told me the print on the wall was just ink and paper and had no life of its own. at some point the cat stopped blinking, and i stopped thinking it could.

The library was open for one hour after school let out. I hid there, looking at art books and reading poetry.

In life there are always these things happening if you can just get the joke.

We don’t create a fantasy world to escape reality, we create it to be able to stay. I believe we have always done this, used images to stand and understand what otherwise would be intolerable.

The only reason we find structure in stories is because it's there naturally in human interaction, and in the way that people tell stories.

If I had had me for a student I would have thrown me out of class immediately.
