The wild daisies and Indian paintbrush whizzing past are just the genitals of a different life form Chuck Palahniuk
Adolescence is such a fun time in your life, because you think you know it all, and you haven’t gotten to the point where you realize that you know almost nothing. Anthony Kiedis
Let grammar, punctuation, and spelling into your life! Even the most energetic and wonderful mess has to be turned into sentences. Terry Prachett
I had to go back and reread the page a few times.

Nothing drives people crazier than seeing someone have a good fucking life. Chuck Palahniuk
It's difficult to explain, but I just somehow feel that I never really *have* lived; that I never really will live--exist or whatever--in the sense that other people do. It drives me crazy. I was terribly aware of it all those nights waiting for you in the Ritz bar looking around at what seemed to be real grown-up lives. I just find everybody else's life surrounded by plate glass. I mean I'd like to break through it just once and actually touch one. Elaine Dundy
I am alive, he says to himself, I am alive! And life energy surges hotly through him, and delight, and appetite. How good to be in a body - even this old beat-up carcass - that still has warm blood and live semen and rich marrow and wholesome flesh! Christopher Isherwood

Lucille Clifton
The real life of the party is flattened beneath the bed, taping actual sex encounters, not sitting cross-legged on the floor with a guitar, embarrassing himself and others. David Sedaris
Elaine Dundy quote: "Fate was playing my hand for me and for once in my life I knew..."
