Faith: not wanting to know what is true.
It’s the in between that drives us mad.
I want to make beautiful things, even if nobody cares.
Everybody’s youth is a dream, a form of chemical madness.
And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.
There are only the pursued, the pursuing, the busy, and the tired.
If there is a God, He will have to beg my forgiveness.
It is easy to love people in memory; the hard thing is to love them when they are there in front of you.
I must also have a dark side if I am to be whole.
I was twenty. I will let no one say it is the best time of life. Everything threatens a young person with ruin: love, ideas, the loss of family, the entrance into the world of adults. It is hard to learn one’s part in the world.
― Graham Greene, The End of the Affair
“If you ride like lightning, you’re gonna crash like thunder.”
I do not pray for a lighter load, but for a stronger back.
