What happens if you get scared half to death twice?? Who keeps track of those things? ↗

LAVINIA: I want to feel love! Love is all beautiful! I never used to know that! I was a fool! We'll be married soon... We'll make an island for ourselves on land and we'll have children and love them and teach them to love life so that they can never be possessed by hate and death! ↗

On moonless nights in haunted hollow The tongues of beasts, men's blood do swallow Shape shifting shadows that soon will fade Leaving lifeless husks in that mountain glade Swift now close thy sleepy eyes Hope that your dreams hold no surprise. ↗

I'll give you something to cry about!! Hell, no need to get up I’m doing a good job of bawling my eyes out now. It could be that having one of the spokes from my ten speed pierce my thigh depressed me because now that tire will wobble. “Have you learned your lesson?” “Cry sooner because you’ll stop quicker?” **SMACK** “Can I go for best three out of five?” ** SMACK** **SMACK** “I’m only beating you because I care!!” “Lucky me, I couldn’t have been raised by a heartless bitch?” **SMACK!!** “I think I’m beginning to feel the love now… ↗

LAVINIA: I love everything that grows simply-- up toward the sun-- everything that's straight and strong! I hate what's warped and twists and eats into itself and dies for a lifetime in shadow... ↗

Somebody once told me that I need a reality check, I told them that I'll accept money from any source. ↗

If you make art, people will talk about it. Some of the things they say will be nice, some won’t. You’ll already have made that art, and when they’re talking about the last thing you did, you should already be making the next thing. If bad reviews (of whatever kind) upset you, just don’t read them. It’s not like you’ve signed an agreement with the person buying the book to exchange your book for their opinion. Do whatever you have to do to keep making art. I know people who love bad reviews, because it means they’ve made something happen and made people talk; I know people who have never read any of their reviews. It’s their call. You get on with making art. ↗

I looked around out the driver's window of the hearse. It was Stills! We got out and hugged right there on Sunset Boulevard in the middle of traffic. Horns were honking! To us it seemed like everybody was celebrating! Something was happening, but we didn't know what it was. It was fucking Buffalo Springfield, that's what it was. ↗
