Good writing is rewriting.

You don't run out on people; you run out on yourself.

I remember things the way they should have been.

Before birth; yes, what time was it then? A time like now, and when they were dead, it would be still like now: these trees, that sky, this earth, those acorn seeds, sun and wind, all the same, while they, with dust-turned hearts, change only.

Then why does Kenneth Anger wear a picture locket on a chain around his neck? On one side of the locket there is a picture of you; on the other there is an image of a frog with an inscription: "Bobby Beausoleil changed into a frog by Kenneth Anger." A voodoo amulet, so to say.

It is very seldom that a person loves anyone they cannot in some way envy.

When I am writing, I try to do it five hours a day but I spend about two of those just fooling around.
