Most people love you for who you pretend to be.

A man searching for paradise lost can seem a fool to those who never sought the other world.

When you make your peace with authority, you become authority.

If my poetry aims to achieve anything, it's to deliver people from the limited ways in which they see and feel.

This is the strangest life I've ever known.

Some of the worst mistakes of my life have been haircuts.

The most loving parents and relatives commit murder with smiles on their faces. They force us to destroy the person we really are: a subtle kind of murder.

No one here gets out alive.

Where's your will to be weird?

You feel your strength in the experience of pain.

I like people who shake other people up and make them feel uncomfortable.

I've noticed that when people are joking they're usually dead serious, and when they're serious, they're usually pretty funny.

I want to have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn.

Give me songs to sing and emerald dreams to dream and I'll give you love unfolding.

Being drunk is a good disguise. I drink so I can talk to assholes. This includes me.

The future is uncertain but the end is always near.

It may have been in pieces, but I gave you the best of me.

Nobody would stay interested in me if I was normal
