I haven't anything against whores, except this: some of them may have an honest tongue but they all have dishonest hearts. - Truman Capote

Writing has laws of perspective, of light and shade, just as painting does, or music. If you are born knowing them, fine. If not, learn them. Then rearrange the rules to suit yourself.

You exist in a half-world suspended between two superstructures, one self-expression and the other self-destruction. You are strong, but there is a flaw in your strength, and unless you can learn how to control it the flaw will prove stronger than your strength and defeat you.

Leave it to me: I'm always top banana in the shock department.
