Poppy Z. Brite Quotes

Those who know enough to drink Chartreuse at Mardi Gras are lucky, because the distilled essence of the town burns in their bellies. Chartreuse glows in the dark, and if you drink enough of it, your eyes will turn bright green.

I know you have not thought about it. Italians always act without thinking, it's the glory and the downfall of your civilisation.
